Shostakovich : Lady Macbeth Of Mtsensk - DVD Opera - Shostakovich : Lady Macbeth Of Mtsensk

A Film by Peter Weigl

Based on a story written by Nikolai S. Leskov in 1865, “Lady Macbeth Of Mtsensk” is the tale of Katerina Ismailova, who is trapped in a loveless marriage. The action takes place in Mtsensk immediately before the Revolution in October 1917. The Ismailovs are rich landowners, and the household consists of Boris, who rules the house in a typically patriarchal manner, his weak son, Zinovy, and Katerina. In the tradition of “Anna Karenina” and “Madame Bovary,” Katerina’s fatalistic pursuit of passion has disastrous effects.

Legendary Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich wrote the lead role of Katerina for famed Russian vocalist Galina Vishnevskaya, whose amazing soprano can be heard in this filmed version. Her husband, Mstislav Rostropovich, conducts. International opera performer Nicolai Gedda provides the voice of Katerina’s lover, Sergei. Opera aficionados may recognize the voices of Aage Haugland and Robert tear in minor roles.
