12.04.2007Boris Godunov at Princeton
Between April 12-14, 2007, after half-a-year of intense collaboration between Music, Slavic, Theater and Dance, and the School of Architecture, Princeton University was home to the world premiere of the Pushkin-Meyerhold-Prokofiev production of Boris Godunov.
Artists of the Mir Iskusstva (“World of Art”) movement, which thrived in Russia around the turn of the 20th century, were represented in the exhibition Mir Iskusstva: Russia’s Age of Elegance, on view at the UniversityArt Museum from Feb. 25 through June 11.
Drawn from the holdings of the StateRussianMuseum in St. Petersburg, the works in the exhibition were long suppressed because this last flowering of Russian imperial culture did not conform to the artistic philosophy of the Soviet government. The exhibition was the first opportunity for people in America to see this material, which is now being re-evaluated by the Russians.
