	lady macbeth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		She appears in Shakespeare's play Macbeth, but the play, and the character of Lady Macbeth, are only very loosely based upon actual events.
		Lady Macbeth has become an archetypical character, providing the standard template for a wife pushing her husband to do harm through her own ambition.
		Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District is a short story by Nikolai Leskov, which inspired an opera by Shostakovitch, and a film directed by Andrzej Wajda.

		Leskov describes her as a Lady Macbeth worthy of her Shakespearean homonym.
		Like Lady Macbeth, the first crime leads to all the rest and Katerina Izmailova, feeling herself sullied by the blood she has shed so many times, could ask, like Shakespeare’s character: “Who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?”.
		Leskov, who had to travel all over Russia for professional reasons, wrote realistic literature in which he narrated the things he had seen, in the style of a chronicle, reproducing the real language –or languages– of the humble protagonists of his works, for whom he professed a truly religious compassion.

	Lady MacBeth of Metsensk
		Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk is the story of a house wife who yearns for happiness and love but ends up rejected and utterly alone.
		Shostakovich's musical setting of Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk is powerful and engrossing to the highest standards of "art" music yet managed to upset some of the power structure of the Soviet government as we shall see in the next section.
		Lady Macbeth is one of the all time masterpieces of the Twentieth Century repertoire, and not just in the world of opera but as a stand-alone symphonic work of tremendous emotional depth.

	Watches-Shostakovich- Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Written between 1930 and 1932, Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk was one of the most brilliant achievements of Shostakovich's long career.
		Lady Macbeth would disappear from the repertory for 30 years, and Shostakovich, despite his great gifts for opera, would focus his attention on symphonic and chamber music instead.
		The plot is primarily what angered Stalin...Lady Macbeth is a rather dark and erotic melodrama, which probably offended the former seminarian's latent puritanical sensibilities.

		Similarly, in Leskov’s version, the death of Zinovy was not a direct result of the beating he administered to Katerina, but Katerina kills Zinovy after kissing Sergei provocatively in plain sight.
		In Leskov’s story, the only extensive description of the fellow members of the town describes them as “pious and assiduous churchgoers… [with] an artistic temperament; the grandeur of the solemn church chorals is one of the loftiest and purest forms of enjoyment known to the people.”
		While not all the themes in Leskov’s short story would have been entirely accepted by the Stalin regime, the story remained popular among Soviet artists because it was a realistic depiction of peasant life.

		While the Russian "Lady Macbeth" in Leskov´s novella was a murderess because of mere greed, in Shostakovitch´s opera she becomes the victim of the society in which she lives, in which Katerina sees herself surrounded by nothing other than brutality and calculation.
		Against the background of a large-scale, sociocritically colored portrayal of the customs and mores of the times, which as in its predecessor work, "The Nose" is exposed to musical risibility, the composer of "Lady Macbeth" only makes use of lyrical monologue or folksong?like melody when it reflects on Katerina.
		The 1934 world première in Russia was followed by number of performances in Europe and the United States, while every further presentation of the opera was prohibited in the USSR from January of 1936 because of ban placed on it by Stalin.

		Alexander Preiss, a young dramaturge from Leningrad, wrote the libretto together with me. It is based almost exclusively on Leskov, apart from the third act which deviates in its sharper social statement from Leskov.
		I planned Lady Macbeth as a tragic opera, or rather as a tragic and satirical opera.

	Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk Film Review - DSCH Journal 15
		Mikhail Shapiro's version of Katerina Izmailova is probably the best-known film adaptation of either Leskov's story Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk or Shostakovich's opera, though there have been several others.
		Versions of the Leskov story include one directed in 1926 by the now almost completely forgotten Cheslav Sabinsky: "[i]t was roundly criticised for being unscrupulous but it was vivid and engrossing" says Testimony.
		Obviously Sabinsky's was a silent film, but in 1962 Andrzej Wajda made Sibirska Ledi Magbet (Siberian Lady Macbeth, known in the USA as Fury is a Woman) and this uses fragments of Shostakovich's music.

	'Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk' is magnificent
		"Lady Macbeth,'' last done here in 1988, is as well-known for its role in Shostakovich's checkered political fortunes as for its own artistic merits.
		In adapting Nikolai Leskov's story about a provincial merchant's wife, Katerina Ismailova, whose adulterous passion leads her to murder her husband and her father-in-law, Shostakovich did not stint on sensationalism.
		At the same time, there is a rich vein of compassion running throughout the opera, to the point where the title, inherited from Leskov, feels less than apt.

	"Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk."
		Elevated after his death in 1975 from Soviet toady to a heroic composer whose coded scores savagely critique the system, Shostakovich, we are now told, was neither slave nor rebel, just a passive victim who wrote the best music he could in bad times.
		If the latest theory is true, perhaps that accounts for the especially coruscating score he wrote for Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, which has just returned to the Metropolitan Opera's repertory.
		Based on Nikolai Leskov's popular 1866 novel, the plot centers on the miserable Katerina Ismailova, driven to serial murder by a repressive society but a sympathetic victim at heart and one with whom Shostakovich identified completely.

		Shostakovich loved the character of Katerina Izmaylova so deeply that he could not bear to see her as Lady Macbeth, that is, as a wanton murderer.
		As he wrote years later, "I dedicated Lady Macbeth to my bride, my future wife, so naturally the opera is about love, too, but not only love.
