An immersive electropop-opera ripped from a slice of Tolstoy’s War and Peace.
From the celebrated and award-winning composer Dave Malloy comes Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, an electrifying electropop opera inspired by a scandalous slice of Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace. Young and impulsive, Natasha Rostova arrives in Moscow to await the return of her fiancé from the front lines. When she falls under the spell of the dashing and roguish Anatole, it is up to Pierre, a family friend caught in the throes of an existential crisis, to pick up the pieces of her shattered reputation.
This award-winning musical, which captivated audiences from its critically exalted premiere at Ars Nova in New York City to its acclaimed Broadway run, redefines the theatrical experience with its daring score and bold storytelling.
The Great Comet promises a fully immersive journey: the theater will transform into a vibrant Russian salon, with actors playing instruments, singing, and performing all around you. They’ll move through the space, bringing the drama and excitement directly into the audience, making you feel like a part of the story unfolding in real time.
Prepare to be swept up in an unforgettable experience where electrifying music and rich emotion are only an arm’s length away. This production will blur the boundaries between performers and spectators, pulling you deeper into the romance, intrigue, and heartache of Natasha's world.
