- Shostakovich’s
musically brilliant and ingeniously panoramic opera about love, lust, power and
oppression is fabulously well played 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.
- This ‘musically brilliant and fabulously well played’ [Financial Times] production marks Shostakovich’s centenary year with Mariss Jansons conducting the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra
