about the characters and the role they play in the story.<br />
Choose<br />
one from the following:<br />
<strong>Boris</strong><br />
Shuisky<br />
Marina<br />
Xenia<br />
Dimitri<br />
Pimen<br />
If you were going to play this character, you would have to discover, create, and<br />
imagine the background, personality,<br />
physical qualities of him or her. Some clues are<br />
provided in the story and the music and some you need to make-up yourself.<br />
Pretend you are that character and answer the following questions:<br />
1. How old are you?<br />
2.<br />
Do you have brothers and sisters?<br />
3.<br />
What sort of home do you have (a house/apartment/castle/cave?) Describe it.<br />
4.<br />
What do you really want in the story? This is called your character’s objective.<br />
5. What obstacles stand in your<br />
way?<br />
6. What steps in the opera do you take to achieve this objective? What are the results?<br />
