McMillin's "Setting Lermontov: Some Musical Versions of the Poet's Works" (New Zealand Slavonic Journal Vol. 43 (2009), p.3-22 (p.12, specifically)) mentions 12 romances to texts by Lermontov written at various points of Shebalin's life, but no complete incidental music to Maskarade. It is worth asking whether Shebalin wrote more music with text from Maskerade than this duet (or if so, enough to count as actual "incidental music" that could be used during a performance of a play.)
