Anna Karenina: Musical (2018)

Love to life, is fresh blood free Pentium, or a mirage is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst? Leo Tolstoy's well-known literary masterpiece Anna Karenina rekindled the enthusiasm of the audience in a perfect musical adaptation. The 92-year-old Moscow Light Opera House (The Moscow Operetta Theatre) stands at the forefront of Russian musicals with a bold Anna Karenina, rewriting the history of Russian musicals at the box office. Roman Ignatiev composed music, and Yuliy Kim, known as the four Russian bards, wrote lyrics, deleting more than a thousand pages of Tolstoy's masterpieces and condensing them into the length of a play. More than 40 fast-paced pieces of music, such as classical music, rock music, pop music and cross-border music, set off the ups and downs of the fate of the characters for most of their lives and the ups and downs of the land. On the stage, the exquisite restoration of 19th-century Russian sets and more than 200 pieces of gorgeous costumes, Anna plays the Russian meritorious artist Yekaterina Ekatelina Guseva and Vorensky's Sergey Lee, but also performs the twists and turns of love. This novel, written in czarist Russia in the second half of the 19th century, tells the story of Anna Karenina, a lady who cannot stand the hypocrisy and apathy of her husband Karenin, and falls in love with the handsome young officer Vorensky in the 19th century Russian society. The originally quiet life is gone forever, and they will pay a heavy price for it.
