Meet one of opera's most unforgettable characters, Katerina Ismailova, in the Boston Symphony Orchestra's (BSO) concert performance of Shostakovich's Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk. The BSO's remarkable history with Shostakovich's music dates back to the composer's lifetime, and in recent years has included multiple Grammy Award–winning recordings and season highlights at Carnegie Hall. Of his "intimate relationship with [Shostakovich's] music," Music Director and Conductor Andris Nelsons says, "I feel like I know him, in a mystical way." There’s no better way to hear this music than with the BSO at Carnegie Hall.
