Anna Karenina

Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina is one of the great social novels of world literature. John Neumeier brings Tolstoy's material from the 19th century into the present day. In 2017, he created his own interpretation, in which he breaks the plot down to its essentials and brings Tolstoy's material from the 19th century into the present day. To music by Peter Tchaikovsky, Alfred Schnittke and Cat Stevens / Yusuf Islam, Neumeier creates a modern portrait of society on stage. With Anna Karenina as the proud woman at the center, the choreographer has created a narrative ballet that places a strong female protagonist in the foreground and allows us to reflect on social roles.
