The drama, the passion, the tragedy! Leo Tolstoy’s age-old novel about torrid and ultimately very unhappy affair between the handsome Count Vronsky and young, beautiful Anna–alas married to someone else–is presented here in a thrilling ballet staged by multi-award-winning choreographer Boris Eifman, known round the world as a philosopher, a psychological artist, a genius.
The Festival is thrilled that the Eifman Ballet brings this brilliant, boundary-pushing classic to Bangkok, as it has been performed on the major stages of the United States and in nearly every capital in Europe.
Set to Tchaikovsky’s score, the pace is relentless, grueling and action-packed. It’s impossible not to be riveted by this portrayal of love, lust and duty, capriciousness, abandonment and fate in Imperial Russian high-society.
