About

Boris Godunov - not by Mussorgsky. The story of how Johann Mattheson's political comedy "Boris Goudenow" came into being reads in large parts more exciting than many a mystery script: written in 1710 for the Hamburg Opera at the Gänsemarkt, the work was suddenly withdrawn by the composer. The score fell into oblivion, eventually ended up in the Hamburg City Library, and was long considered lost after World War II. It was not until the end of the 20th century that the opera was tracked down in Armenia and returned to Hamburg, where the premiere finally took place in 2005 after a delay of almost 300 years. The place of action is the Moscow Kremlin. The opera's plot revolves around the story of how the Russian prince Boris Goudenov rises to power through intrigue and becomes Russian tsar. The new Innsbruck production, under the musical direction of renowned Italian harpsichordist and conductor Andrea Marchiol, makes this baroque gem resound anew.

Reviews

February 2023

Julie Goussot, singing Gavust’s lover, stands out with her radiant sweetness and urgent dramatic delivery...But the artistry carrying this production is above all that of the band Theresia, whose pacing, phrasing and additions make this little-known score engagingly dramatic.

March 2023

This opera itself turns out to have plenty of quality in it: affecting arias you could easily mistake for Handel (if not Handel at his very best) mix with interesting moments of individuality, achieved with a skill, lightness and grace reminiscent of Telemann.

January 2023

Olivier Gourdy’s bass is not huge but he uses it extremely well, and he is fairly deft at managing coloratura passagework… Alice Lackner’s appealing and firm-toned mezzo is well suited to Olga’s arias… Andrea Marchiol and the Theresia ensemble give a fairly driven account of the score.

January 2023

there is much to like about Theresia’s energy in putting Boris Goudenow across. Rustic playing and rhythms evoke the exotic Moscow setting, as does the casting of three basses. Olivier Gourdy’s soft-grained Boris suggests the calm politician, his rise culminating in a grand coronation scene with drums and trumpets, while Yevhen Rakhmanin’s oaky Tsar Theodorus has a moving death scene.
