Hot from his towering success at Covent Garden this spring, Bryn Terfel takes the title role in Mussorgsky’s tumultuous opera Boris Godunov, with the Chorus and Orchestra of the Royal Opera House conducted by Sir Antonio Pappano.


Boris Godunov tells the chilling story of a tsar’s ruthless ambition and downfall - he has murdered the nine-year-old heir to the throne in order to be crowned emperor himself, but is so haunted by the apparent spectre of his victim (actually a monk in disguise) and threatened by the popular support for this Young Pretender, that he dies of guilt and shame.

General booking opens Saturday 7 May, 9:00.

  • PROMMING

    The BBC proms wouldn’t be the proms without promming. Before each concert, up to 1350 £5 unreserved standing spaces are made available, both in the Royal Albert Hall’s pit and on the top circle. This gives you a chance to attend sold-out performances and catch world-class music for pocket change.

    You'll need to arrive before the concert and queue outside the hall. The time this takes depends on the concert – expect over an hour for a hot ticket – but it’s unusual for the hall to fill completely. When the queue reaches a certain length, attendants hand out raffle tickets, which allow you to retain your place in line if you leave and return within thirty minutes.
