Based on the novel by Lev Tolstoy

"All happy families are alike, every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." Tolstoy's novel "Anna Karenina" begins with this famous sentence. The misfortune comes over Anna Karenina in the person of Count Vronsky, who at first seems to embody happiness for her. Anna Karenina lives in a not very loving marriage, but one that offers her financial security and social recognition. When she falls head over heels into a love affair with Vronsky, her husband gives her the choice of either ending this relationship or leaving and never seeing her own child again. Anna Karenina escapes with Vronsky, but while he is still socially accepted, Anna Karenina is increasingly marginalized. Her love, which once burst all boundaries, cannot withstand this pressure. The lonely Anna grows more and more into fantasies of jealousy and in the end sees the only way out in death of her own choosing.

Embedded in a great love story, Tolstoy created a relentless portrait of Russian society in "Anna Karenina", in which, as if by the way, he showed the great social issues of his country and the burgeoning reform efforts. Inspired by Tolstoy's novel, ballet director Reginaldo Oliveira embarks on a journey into the heart of Russia with all its political turmoil and to one of the most important women in world literature in his new full-length narrative ballet.

The Russian writer Lev Tolstoy (1828–1910) was first of all famous for his epoch-making novels “War and Peace” and “Anna Karenina”, before he confronted his utopian goals of a life of shared work with equal rights, lack of property and need, and extreme simplicity set an example for a rigorous doctrine that soon spread as the Tolstoyan movement far beyond Russia.

After the gloomy jealous drama "Othello" and the celebrated interpretation of the tragedy of the young lovers "Romeo and Juliet", ballet director Reginaldo Oliveira, together with his proven team, the set designer Sebastian Hannak and the costume designer Judith Adam, is now centering on a great and complex woman's fate new creation.
