Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.

To mark the centenary of Dvorak's death and to launch one of the season's main themes - Back to Bohemia - Richard Hickox conducts a concert performance of Dvorak's finest grand opera. In early 17th-century Moscow, the Polish pretender Dimitrij is convinced that the Russian throne is legitimately his, following the death of Tsar Boris Godunov. But his doomed marriage to Marina, a fellow Pole, and a love affair with the Tsar's daughter Xenie, leads to inevitable tragedy. Presented by Donald Macleod.

Dvorak: Dimitrij - Slovak Philharmonic Choir, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, conductor Richard Hickox
Acts 1 and 2

8.05 Interval: After Boris
Why did Dvorak feel the need to write a sequel to Musorgsky's Boris Godunov? To what extent do the events of the two operas correspond to historical fact? And are they linked musically? Piers Burton-Page investigates, with Michael Beckerman, Lindsey Hughes and Jan Smaczny.
