The tyrannical Tsar, Ivan IV, sweeps through the city of Novgorod, on a wholesale pillage. In the picturesque town of Pskov, Ivan billets himself at the house sees a beautiful young woman. Something stays his hand and the city is spared. Could it be because he has discovered his long-lost love child, Olga? With its expansive music, dramatic plot and vivid crowd scenes, Ivan the Terrible is a spectacle. Sung in Russian with surtitles in English. David Pountney directs a new production of one of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's hidden gems: the composer's first opera, Ivan the Terrible – also known as The Maid of Pskov.
