Plot Summary, Synopsis, Review: IMDbentertainment.msn.comrottentomatoes.comallmovie.comamazon.comdvdfr.compreciomania.comdeccaclassics.com: «To mark Valery Gergiev's performances of Boris Godunov at La Scala, Milan, in March 2002, the Russian conductor's classic stage performance of Mussorgsky's great epic, with Robert Lloyd in the title role, is now released on DVD. This will be the first Boris to appear worldwide on DVD. This famous production was created at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, by the great Russian film director Andrei Tarkovsky (Solaris, Andrei Rublev, etc.), when in exile from his homeland in 1983. In the late 80s, after Tarkovsky's death, Valery Gergiev, as Artistic Director of the Kirov Opera, specially requested that the London staging be loaned to the Kirov, so that Russian audiences should have the chance to see Tarkovsky's only opera production, since all his work was banned in the USSR during the last years of his life. And in order to give audiences worldwide the opportunity to see this unique staging, a performance were televised live from Leningrad (as it then was), as well as videotaped for future release».
