Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk Opera Tickets

See the innovative opera performed live with Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk tickets. Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk is an early 20th century opera written by Dmitri Shostakovich. The piece is inspired by Nikolai Leskov’s short story Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District. The opera is widely regarded as a quintessential example of both expressionism and verismo, a post-Romantic tradition that emphasized realism in art. The plot follows a lonely woman in Russia who develops feelings for one of her husband’s employees and eventually resorts to murder. Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk premiered in 1934 at the Leningrad Maly Operny. 

Despite the fact that Shostakovich was persecuted in the late ‘30s by Joseph Stalin, Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk nevertheless entered the standard repertory. It is one of the most frequently performed Russian operas of all time, and one of the most performed operas in the world generally. 

Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk has twice been adapted for film–once by Mikhail Shapiro in 1966, and again in 1992 by Petr Weigl. Well-known recordings of the score have been made by leading groups such as the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Opera Bastille.

Opera seating choices rely on both financial capabilities and personal viewing preferences. Audience members should choose mid-to-front rows in the center orchestra for the ideal sound and view combination but those who want a grand panoramic perspective should opt for seats in the front mezzanine or balcony. People should choose seats in the middle orchestra or mezzanine for the best acoustic experience because opera houses have sound systems that transmit sound efficiently to these areas. The rear orchestra and balcony sections offer affordable seating choices at the expense of slightly reduced sound quality.
