Katerina Ismailova ist gefangen in ihrer unglücklichen Ehe mit dem Kaufmann Sinowi. Ihr Schwiegervater Boris terrorisiert sie. Als sie gegen dessen System der Unterdrückung und Überwachung aufbegehrt, wird sie zur Mörderin. Dem Komponisten gelingt es, unsere Sympathie für diese Frauengestalt zu wecken. Mit beißend satirischem Tonfall charakterisiert er eine trostlose Welt, in der ihr Lebenshunger und ihre Sehnsucht nach Liebe Katerina zum Verhängnis werden. Schostakowitschs Musik, die immer wieder symphonisch auftrumpft, ist von unbändiger Kraft. Anselm Weber zeichnet das Bild einer dystopischen, verrohten Gesellschaft und legt den Fokus auf die inneren Welten der Titelheldin.

Deutsch

Katerina Ismailova’s locked in an unhappy marriage with the merchant Sinovi. Her father-in-law Boris terrorises her. She turns into a murderer when she rebels against his systematic suppression and surveillance. The composer manages to arouse our sympathy for this woman. He depicts a desolate world with biting satirical tones, in which hunger for life and thirsting for love bring about Katerina’s downfall. Shostakovich’s music, revelling in its own sound, is irrepressibly powerful. Anselm Weber reveals a dystopic, brutalised society, placing the focus on the title figure’s inner world.
