Mazeppa

About the show

In 18th-century Ukraine, Mariya leaves her parents to marry her godfather Mazeppa, while Andrei loves her in secret. Mariya’s father Kochubey and his ally Iskra attempt to warn Peter the Great of Mazeppa’s plan to side with Sweden and establish an independent Ukraine. Mazeppa has Kochubey tortured and executed. After the Battle of Poltava, Andrei seeks revenge but is shot; Mariya, driven mad by events, fails to recognize either him or Mazeppa.
