The first-ever release on any video format
of the Kirov’s 1996 production of Tchaikovsky’s Mazeppa.

operas on DVD, the disc features full subtitling in English, French,
German, Italian, Spanish and Chinese.
Valery Gergiev directs the Kirov Opera and Ballet in this dramatic
staging of Tchaikovsky’s historical opera, based on Pushkin’s
verse tale of the legendary Cossack chieftain. Tchaikovsky’s
dark musical setting intertwines the political drama of Mazeppa’s
ill-fated betrayal of the Tsar with the personal tragedy of his love
for Maria, the young daughter of his hapless opponent, Kochubey. Three
of the Kirov’s greatest stars, Nikolai Putilin, Sergei Aleksashkin
and Larissa Diadkova lead the all-Russian cast.
This new DVD release joins existing Gergiev/Kirov DVDs of Tchaikovsky’s
Pique Dame, as well as the three Russian epic operas —
Boris Godunov, Prince Igor and Ruslan & Lyudmila
— available separately or together in the recent “The Glory
of Russian Opera” DVD box set.
