Paata Burchuladze, The Tsar’s Bride, London
“A tale of corruption, passion and poisoning”, as the Royal Opera House, London, describes its first-ever production of Rimsky-Korsakov’s The Tsar’s Bride, with Paata Burchuladze, highly experienced in this repertoire.

Richard Strauss, nearly eighty years old and past caring what anybody
