The drama "Anna Karenina", adapted from Leo Tolstoy's masterpiece of the same name, is known as the "ceiling" of Russian dramas, and it has firmly occupied the Russian box office myth throne as soon as it was launched in 2016. In December, the original Russian version of "Anna Karenina" started its first tour in China, and from the 29th, the play will be staged at Beijing Tianqiao Performing Arts Center, accompanying the audience in the capital for the New Year's Eve with 6 performances in 4 consecutive days.
* The play "Anna Karenina" was written by Yuli Kim, "one of the four great bards of Russia", who condensed the original book into a two-hour volume. The play was composed by Roman Ignatiev and directed by Alina Chevik. In this tour, Russian veteran first-class drama actor Anfisa Kirillina and "Golden Mask Theater Award" winner Diona Dolnikova played Anna Karenina, and Al Chom Erisev played Alexei Vronsky, etc., which can be said to have gathered Russia's top creative lineup and cast.
Anna Karenina opens with the famous train scene, with punk-inspired steel frames and locomotive installations throughout the show. On the stage, scenes such as the 19th-century St. Petersburg Opera House, the ice skating rink in winter, the gorgeous court balls, and the Russian countryside in summer are presented through the clever arrangement of the sets. There are more than 40 songs in the whole play, including classical, pop and rock and other styles of singing, which perfectly set off the plot and create an atmosphere. Figure skating, modern dance, ballet, court dance, Russian folk dance and other art forms will bring the audience a double feast of vision and hearing, and the philosophical propositions of love and death, freedom and destiny in the whole play can also arouse universal empathy from the audience.
