The British director Simon McBurney has been put in charge of Mussorgsky’s Khovanshchina by the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow.

The show, opening in June, is a co-production with Covent Garden and the Met.

McBurney, founder of the Complicité theatre company, is working on Musorgsky’s original drafts with his brother Gerard, a noted authority on Russian music.
