Opera or Operetta :: This new production evokes a dark and threatening world with hard hitting contemporary resonance. When Tsar Ivan the Terrible selects Marfa Sobakina as his bride, romantic and political jealousy and scheming brings about death and disaster for her and many others. The music is intensely dramatic to match the story of Ivan the Terrible and the madness and sinister death of his third wife, Marfa.
