Премьера оперы "Катерина Измайлова"! - "Katerina Izmailova" opera premiere!

Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District is, perhaps, the most noted Russian opera of XX century. It is not only extremely vividly depicted the era, but also fell its first victim.

Shostakovich began his work on the opera on 14 December 1930. “When I read Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District by Leskov, I was impressed. When composing music based on literary groundwork, each time you create a whole new independent piece. There is no correlation with theatre where one or another performance is based on a certain novel. Every work in music gains absolutely independent meaning” .

Shostakovich, together with Alexander Preys who became libretto co-author, re-evaluates and redefines the storyline of Leskov’s novella.

“I’m trying to interpret Ekaterina Lvovna as a good character who deserves empathy of the audience. This compassion cannot be that easily built: Ekaterina Lvovna does a series of unethical and immoral actions. This is where divergence with Leskov happens: Leskov portrays Ekaterina Lvovna as very cruel person who is all fussy and commits murders of completely innocent people, according to Leskov. I would like, on the contrary, to present this events in a different light: Ekaterina Lvovna — a woman who is talented, smart and exceptional; because of hard and terrible conditions that life puts her in, because of cruel greedy and petty merchant environment — her life becomes melancholic, uninteresting and sad... she has got no pleasures, no comfort. But here comes a workman Sergei... She falls in love, and finds happiness and whole new purpose in life in this love. Ekaterina Lvovna sacrifices herself fully to her love to Sergei. Nothing exists anymore for her besides this love to Sergei” .
