TRAILER | SOROCHINTSY FAIR Mussorgsky – Komische Oper Berlin

A devil is at work in the Ukrainian village of Sorochintsy, terrifying residents and travellers alike. Among them a farmer whose daughter is not allowed to marry her lover because her quarrelsome stepmother is against it. Drinking songs, dances, folklore and a wild witches’ Sabbath - Barrie Kosky stages Mussorgsky’s comic-grotesque opera as a colourful, plump folk play. Left unfinished, it was reconstructed by Pavel Lamm and instrumentalised by Vissarion Shebalin in 1932, respecting the work’s uncouth style.
