Szostakowicz - Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk. Shostakovich;s musically brilliant and ingeniously panoramic opera about love, lust, power and oppression is fabulously performed by the Concertgebouw Orchestra under Mariss Jansons in this authoritative production. Stage director Martin Kušej builds on formidable musical strengths to forge a relentless drama that explores with emotional conviction the shadowy, layered boundaries between victims and perpetrators. First-rate protagonist Eva-Maria Westbroek is phenomenal in her gripping interpretation of Katarina, compelling the entire cast, including the choir, to almost unbearable realism in their portrayal of timeless human weaknesses.Katerina Lvovna Ismailova: Eva-Maria Westbroek Sergey: Christopher Ventris Aksinya: Carole Wilson Boris Timofeyevich Ismailov: Vladimir Vaneev Sonyetka: Lani Poulson Zinovy Borisovich Ismailov: Ludovít Ludha Shabby Peasant:Alexandre KravetsChorus of De Nederlandse Opera Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Musical Director: Mariss Jansons Stage Director:Martin KušejRecorded live in Het Muziektheater, Amsterdam, on 25th 28th June 2006. class=redText Plus Illustrated synopsis cast gallery.
