One of Ostrovsky's most poetical works, The Storm is set in
Kalinov, a provincial town on the banks of the Upper Volga. Trapped
in an unhappy marriage, Katerina is tormented by her widowed
mother-in-law, Marfa Kabanova. Katerina seeks solace in an affair
with a similarly toermented young lover, and the confession of this
affair to her husband leads ultimately to tragedy.
The Storm was a great success on its first performance the Maly
Theatre, Moscow, in November 1859, and continues to be critically
regarded as one of Ostrovsky's best plays. It inspired Janacek's
opera "Katia Kabanova."
