Boris Godunov Premiere in Göteborg

GöteborgsOperan

After me having been travelling back and forth between the Soldaten shows in Nürnberg and the Boris Godunov rehearsals in Göteborg, we finally made it to the premiere.

The director, Peter Konwitschny, with whom I had the honour of working for the Boris Godunov premiere in Nürnberg 2016 AND for die Soldaten this season, joined the rehearsals for the last two weeks and brought a lot of inspiration and thought into the direction. The main rehearsal work however was done by Annika Nitsch, who assisted Peter Konwithschny in Nürnberg.

I had a tough way up to the premiere fighting a stubborn cold but got the most lovely support from the house and from the, very musical, conductor Leo Hussain. I’m grateful for that and for my vocal chords being fit just in time for the premiere which was broadcasted by the Swedish Radio.

You can listen for 30 days on the Swedish Radio homepage

It is loads of fun to be back with this production and to share the stage with Clive Bayley, as Boris, is a pleasure every
