Programme Note

The mighty Don himself dominates this opera. The hero, relentlessly pursuing a life of debauchery and associated intrigue, involving public flagellation, murder and suicide, is eventually confronted with the ghosts of those who have died, at which point he finally repents and joins a holy brotherhood.
