Эпизод 15

This acclaimed new production of Alexander Borodin's operatic masterpiece, the Met's first since 1917, stars Ildar Abdrazakov as the heroic title character, a 12th-century ruler who defended Russia against invading Polovtsian forces. Gianandrea Noseda, a specialist in Russian music, conducts a new edition of the opera - left unfinished by Borodin at the time of his death in 1887 - which has been specially created for the Met production. The cast includes Ukrainian soprano Oksana Dyka as Igor's wife, Yaroslavna; Anita Rachvelishvili as the fiery Polovtsian princess Konchakovna; Russian tenor Sergey Semishkur as Igor's son, Vladimir Igorevich; Mikhail Petrenko as Yaroslavna's brother, Prince Galitsky; and Štefan Kocán as Khan Konchak, leader of the Polovtsian forces. Bass-baritone Eric Owens hosts the broadcast.
