Opera or Operetta :: Religious persecution, political intrigue and national upheaval - Khovanshchina has it all. It is the story of a conspiracy led by Prince Ivan Kovansky, who is determined to consolidate the power of his own boyar class, despite the warnings of the Old Believers and the ambitions of the increasingly powerful Romanov dynasty.
