St. Louis Public Radio will carry the Met Opera broadcast of Modest Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov on their HD channel, KWMU-3 beginning at 11 a.m. Please note the earlier than usual start time. Approximate running time 4 hours, 15 minutes, with intermissions at approximately 12:45 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.
The Met Opera website says:
Bass René Pape takes on one of the greatest roles in a production by Stephen Wadsworth. Valery Gergiev conducts Mussorgsky’s soulful spectacle, which captures the suffering and ambition of a nation. Aleksandrs Antonenko, Vladimir Ognovenko, and Ekaterina Semenchuk lead the huge cast in a work that is also a breathtaking showcase for the Met’s formidable chorus.
The broadcast of Boris Godunov on KWMU-3 began at noon and was joined in progress. The first hour of the Met broadcast was not aired by KWMU-3 today.
