Boris Godunov is an opera by Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky, completed in 1869 and revised in 1872. The work is rooted in the Russian nationalist tradition and musical realism, featuring bold choral writing, declamatory vocal lines and distinctive orchestral colours to portray historical and psychological drama, and it occupies a central place in Mussorgsky's output and the development of Russian opera.
