Saturday Matinee presents the Metropolitan Opera's production of Prince Igor. Alexander Borodin's Russian epic comes to the Met for the first time in nearly 100 years.

"Prince Igor's triumphant return: the Met makes a masterpiece of an unlikely opera. [A performance that] would be the jewel of any opera company in any golden age." - New York Observer
