Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk : opera in four acts (1932 version) / music by Dmitri Shostakovich ; libretto by A. Preis & D. Shostakovich, after a short story by N. Leskov ; translation from the Russian by Edward Downes.
"In 1958 the composer made some changes ... and renamed the work Katerina Ismailova ... The present translation of the libretto reinstates the version of the opera as Shostakovich originally conceived it."--Prefatory note, p. iii.
