The headline in today’s “Opera Warhorses” reads “World Treasure: a Stunning Dallas Opera Revival of Tarkovsky’s Classic, Insightful ‘Boris Godunov’ April 1, 2011″

Olin Chism at KERA’s “Art and Seek blog” was knocked out by the singing and acting chops of our Boris, Russian star Mikhail Kazakov.
“The Flash List” compared it to cavier for the discriminating musical palate: as in you get it, you love it – or you don’t.
And Gregory Sullivan Isaacs at “Theater Jones” pronounced: “A Tsar is Born.”
More to come, and the matinee starts promptly at 2:00 this afternoon. There’s still time.
