Moscow, Cheryomushki (Russian: Москва, Черёмушки; Moskva, Cheryómushki) is an operetta in three acts by Dmitri Shostakovich, his Op.

The satirical plot dealt with a topical theme geared to one of the most pressing concerns of urban Russians, the chronic housing shortages and the difficulties of securing liveable conditions.

The operetta is reminiscent of Shostakovich's popular music of the period, yet at the same time it engages a satirical assessment of the housing redevelopments in Moscow.

Pimlico Opera staged the European premiere at the Lyric Theatre (Hammersmith), London, on 20 October 1994 in a newly commissioned translation by David Pountney and a reduced orchestration by Gerard McBurney.

The group are driven to the estate by Sergei, who knows Cheryomushki since his on-off girlfriend Liusia worked there, and by Boris, who has fallen in love with Lidochka.

In the closing scene, Boris attempts to exploit a previous liaison with Vava by making love to her when he knows Drebednov will see them, thus undermining their affair.

Liusia helps the tenants create a magic garden, complete with a bench, where bureaucrats are not heard and only the truth is told.

Pimlico Opera recorded the piece with an English libretto in 1995 on tape and CD, distributed with BBC Music Magazine, volume 3, number 8.

The cast of more than 50 included in lead roles Deidre Harris, Sarah Kent, Harriet Moir, Rebecca Samuel, Andrew Buchanan, John Humphries, Sebastian Hurrell, Wade Kernot and Chris Vovan.

One recent English adaptation of the libretto was written by Meg Miroshnik, and produced at Chicago Opera Theater in April 2012.
