The Electrification of the Soviet Union

The Electrification of the Soviet UnionT0514847111
Russia; 1914; the beginning of the modern age - the world will never be the same again, but how will the individual survive with their dreams and beliefs intact? Based on the works of Boris Pasternak, The Electrification of the Soviet Union is a Dr Zhivago for opera. Personal and social turmoil combine for a young Russian poet; the world is poised on the brink of war and his search for meaning in life and love remains unfulfilled. Osborne and Raine's treatment of Russia's epic story draws an intimate portrait of ordinary lives which, facing out this time of change, have become extraordinary. Reminiscent of Kurt Weill at his most passionate and personal, this work seethes with emotion and power.
