The music is great, the singers are tops, the costumes the best. So why do I not think much of this production ? Mainly because the stage sets are non-existent and you cannot use costumes and lots of people to replace the settings. Granted, it may have been done out of some necessity, but not having the right sets simply loses a lot of the story's impact. One innovative good plus was showing the live child Dmitry as a ghost. And having a girl play Fedor is as foolish as always, especially when you see a woman with make-up running to Boris and her breasts bobbing as befits a girl and not a boy.
