The Taming of the Shrew (Shebalin)
''The Taming of the Shrew'' (Russian ''Ukroshchenye stroptivoy'', Cyrillic Укрощение строптивой) is a 1957 opera in four acts, five scenes by Vissarion Shebalin to a libretto by the Soviet musicologist Abram Akimovich Gozenpud, based on the comedy by William Shakespeare. Gozenpud utilized very little of Shakespear's original text in his libretto, and completely eliminated many of the secondary characters and subplots from the play. His libretto does match the spirit of Shakespear's play in its use of wit, the genuine passion of the story's lovers, and mixture of both lofty and coarse language.〔

''Ukroshcheniye stroptivoy'' had its world premiere in a concert version at the Central House of Artists in Moscow on 1 October 1955.〔 The opera was first staged at the Samara Opera and Ballet Theatre (then known as the Kuybïshev Opera) on 25 May 1957 under the baton of conductor S. S. Bergolts. Unhappy with the final scene between Katherine and Petruchio, Shebalin completely re-wrote the ending of the opera for the work's first staging at the Bolshoi Theatre in August 1957.〔 In subsequent months the work was performed in Leningrad, Kiev and other cities.〔Belcanto.ru article by M. Druskin (Опера Виссариона Шебалина «Укрощение строптивой» ) М. Друскин〕〔(Опера Виссариона Шебалина «Укрощение строптивой» ) Soviet Music Lexicon entry, coincidentally written by the librettist himself, Abram Gozenpud.〕
The success of the opera enabled Shebalin to be partly rehabilitated〔''Music and Musical Life in Soviet Russia, 1917–1970'': Volume 1972, Part 2. Boris Schwarz – 1972 "Another work by an older master – Shebalin – achieved a notable success: ''The Taming of the Shrew''. It was not only a matter of recognizing its musical excellence but also of rehabilitating a composer who had suffered grave injustice."〕 and is considered by some Russian musicologists the "most successful Russian opera based on Shakespeare."〔Yuri Abdokov – essay ''Vissarion Shebalin and his cappella choral cycles'', Toccata Classics 2011〕 The music is in a traditional high-spirited opera buffa idiom.〔Shakespeare Survey – p. 87, Allardyce Nicoll – 2002 "A more successful opera, based on an adaptation rather than a translation, is ''The Taming of the Shrew'' by the Russian Shebalin. Though produced as recently as 1957, this uses a thoroughly old-fashioned traditional idiom; but at least it hitches on to an appropriate tradition, that of opera buffa, and it translates into music a good deal of the high spirits of the play."〕
