Description
Episode Description
Metropolitan Opera basso Jerome Hines talks with Elliot Norton about the many interpretations of Mussorgsky's famous Russian opera "Boris Godunov." Mr. Hines had recently become the first American to sing the role of Boris in the Soviet Union. He tells of the enthusiastic reception given him and speaks of one performance he remembers well. The Cuban crisis was at its height, he recalls, and Premier Khrushchev was in the audience. "Frankly," says Mr. Hines, "I was scared." However, his fears proved groundless. At the close of the performance, Premier Khrushchev joined in the applause. Jerome Hines with Elliot Norton is a 1963 production of WGBH-TV, Boston.
