| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Wednesday 19-Jun-13 07:30pm Lady Macbeth of Mzensk Opera in nine scenes
Libretto by Alexander G. Preis and Dmitri Shostakovich
after a novella by Nikolai Leskov
The young wife of a merchant, Katerina Ismailova, murders three people. She stirs rat poison into her tyrannical father-in-law’s dish of mushrooms, beats her husband to death together with her lover, and at the prison camp in Siberia, as she finally jumps to her death, drags a rival down with her. Nevertheless, in a horrific men’s world of greed, lechery and violence, Katerina is the only figure with a human face in this opera. Only for her has Shostakovich reserved a compassionate tone. The society in which she becomes a murderess is barbaric. With twisted mouths, the grotesque faces of human wickedness grin out at us from Shostakovich’s magnificent score.
Lady Macbeth of Mzensk was premièred in Leningrad in 1934. It marks a decisive turning point in Shostakovich’s oeuvre. After Joseph Stalin attended a performance of the opera in 1936, the famous article entitled Chaos instead of music was published in Pravda. The work was scourged as the expression of “radical left-wing self-indulgence” and “petit bourgeois innovation”. It disappeared from theatres, Shostakovich had to fear for his life, never composed another opera, and from then on concealed his true musical feelings and ideas behind a thousand masks.
Teodor Currentzis, the spirited Greek conductor from Siberia who has caused a furore with his unconventional interpretations, is the musical director of the production. Tatjana Serjan, famous for her Verdi roles, will be giving her role début as Katerina. Zurich Opera Director Andreas Homoki will be staging his second production of this season.
