ANNA KARENINA MUSICAL
Written by Leo Tolstoy
Moscow Operetta Theatre
Captured live at the Moscow Operetta Theatre, this spectacular cinematic presentation transforms Leo Tolstoy's timeless masterpiece into a high-octane, symphonic musical. Set against the lavish excess of 19th-century Russian high society, the story follows the scandalous, ill-fated romance between the married aristocrat Anna Karenina and the dashing military officer Count Alexei Vronsky. Driven by a powerful score by Roman Ignatyev and a poignant libretto by Yuliy Kim, the production seamlessly blends sweeping choreography with cutting-edge, multi-ton multimedia stagecraft to plunge audiences into a gripping exploration of passion, duty, and tragic destiny.
