... that when Dmitri Shostakovich was composing his opera Katyusha Maslova, Sergei Prokofiev was also contemplating an opera based on the same subject? Source: In April... Prokofiev had not yet committed himself to War and Peace; instead he found himself attracted to another Tolstoy novel... that related... closer to his spiritual beliefs: Resurrection. His interest in this work was brief, but intense, and it was brought about by another eminent composer: Shostakovich... [who] had signed a contract with the Kirov Theatre for an operatic version of Resurrection called Katyusha Maslova... (The People's Artist: Prokofiev's Soviet Years by Simon Morrison, p. 173)
