An opera commissioned by the Bolshoi Theatre in the early 1930s, about a half-man/half-ape, was discovered by Olga Digonskaya in the Shostakovich Family Archive in 2006. In 2009, Irina Shostakovich commissioned British composer Gerard McBurney to orchestrate the fragment of the opera Orango that has survived for full symphony orchestra (accompanied by soloists and a mixed chorus). In December 2011, the semi-staged world premiere of the opera was performed at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, USA (directed by Peter Sellars, lighting design by Ben Zamora).
