Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk

BBC Four
on BBC Four

5/5. New. The Forbidden Shostakovich strand peaks at the Royal Opera House in London's Covent Garden with this award-winning production from
Richard Jones. Conducted by Antonio Pappano , Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk is an opera full of black humour, sex and satire that proved too much for Stalin in 1936 and was swiftly withdrawn from the Soviet Union stage. Eva-Maria
Westbroek impresses in the title role, Christopher Ventris plays her lover Sergey and John Tomlinson is her lecherous father-in-law Boris.
