Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk
I just finished watching the Nederlandse Opera's production of Shostakovich's The lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District. This is absolutely brilliant music theatre. The production is intense, shocking even. Mariss Jansons gets amazing playing out of the Concertgebouw and Eva-Maria Westbroek is superb in the title role. Not always easy watching but quite compelling. The Opus Arte Bluray disks are excellent too.
