Boris Godunov has been crowned Tsar of Russia in a glittering coronation. But his path to power was bloody. As famines spark unrest, Boris becomes increasingly haunted by his role in the murder of the 9-year-old heir to the throne, Dmitry. Meanwhile, in neighbouring Poland, a young man spots an opportunity to seize power. With Russia in turmoil and his sanity unravelling, can Tsar Boris cling to power? Or will the ghosts of his past return to wreak revenge once and for all?

It is the home of The Royal Opera, The Royal Ballet and the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House. Originally called the Theatre Royal, it served primarily as a playhouse for the first hundred years of its history. In 1734, the first ballet was presented. A year later Handel's first season of operas began. Many of his operas and oratorios were specifically written for Covent Garden and had their premieres there.

The current building is the third theatre on the site following disastrous fires in 1808 and 1857. The façade, foyer and auditorium date from 1858, but almost every other element of the present complex dates from an extensive reconstruction in the 1990s. The Royal Opera House seats 2,268 people and consists of four tiers of boxes and balconies and the amphitheatre gallery. The proscenium is 12.20 m wide and 14.80 m high.
