What it’s about. Live performance from the Metropolitan Opera, March 1, 2014. Absent from the Met stage since 1917, Borodin’s masterwork about an introspective prince’s military campaign against the invading Polovtsians returned in 2014 with a first-rate cast and an astonishing production by Dmitri Tcherniakov. Well worth the wait, the sets feature visually striking projections interlaced with lush flowering fields, and the first act delivers one of opera’s most exciting dance medleys, a portion of which went mainstream in the 1950s when Tony Bennett recorded “Stranger in Paradise.”
Who’s in it. Prince Igor stars Ildar Abdrazakov as Prince Igor, Mikhail Petrenko as Prince Galitsky, Sergey Semishkur as Vladimir Igorevich and Vladimir Ognovenko as Skula, among others.
