The Mariinsky Balletâs acclaimed staging of Tolstoyâs epic novel Anna Karenina receives its British premiere. Choreographed by Alexei Ratmansky to Rodion Shchedrinâs powerful score, the ballet's extraordinary heroine breaks all moral and social conventions with devastating consequences. Tolstoyâs magnificent portrayal of a tormented woman, brought to ruin by the abandonment of her passionless marriage for the dashing Count Vronsky, gives an opportunity for two great ballerinas, Diana Vishneva and Uliana Lopatkina, to display their unparalleled dramatic and expressive gifts.
