Described as an "anarchistic
grenade" at its premiere, Shostakovich's first opera is a surreal and satirical
romp about Kovalyov, an Everyman whose nose runs away from his face to
make its own way in the world. Kovalyov must negotiate society, bureaucracy,
and his own fragmenting identity to bring about their reunion. Musically,
The Nose is exuberant and colorful with non-stop action for cast
and orchestra alike.
