Love and misery, greed and despair, treachery, fear and passion are boiling in the hell hearth of Shostakovich music. The creators of the performance touch the eternal questions about the right to give and to take Life in the name of whatever. One of the best operas of XX century, staged by Dmitry Bertman, absorbed the paradoxicality and cruelty of the period, experienced not only by Leskov characters, but by the whole mankind.
