LADY MACBETH VON MZENSK
Date & Time
Sun, May 25, 2025, 17:00Trapped in a loveless, patriarchal world, Katerina seeks liberation from her tyrannical father-in-law and impotent husband. A passionate affair with the worker Sergey ignites a spark of hope but ends in four deaths. The opera, initially celebrated, drew Stalin's ire, plunging composer Shostakovich into fear and silencing his voice, but fueling the subversive power of his music.A summary from original text in German | Read the original
