Shostakovich's most famous opera, Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District, a violent love story set in provincial Russia, scandalised Soviet authorities. He later produced a censored version, Katerina Ismailova. Nevertheless, the original became one of the most performed operatic works of the twentieth century.
