Adapted from a 70-page slice of Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace, Natasha, Pierre, and The Great Comet of 1812 transforms a Russian classic into a captivating, modern electropop opera. When the young, impulsive Natasha Rostova falls for the beguiling Anatole, it is up to Pierre to reckon with his demons and help her recover the pieces of her shattered reputation. As the war rages around them, vodka flows and emotions ignite in this groundbreaking musical of romance and redemption.
Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals
