ΠΟΛΕΜΟΣ ΚΑΙ ΕΙΡΗΝΗ*
Το επικό αριστούργημα του Λέοντος Τολστόι σε μορφή Όπερας
As
the fates of a spirited young woman, her fiancé and their idealistic
friend intertwine during the Napoleonian invasion, their lives - like
every Russian’s - are about to change forever.
Based on Leo Tolstoy’s epic novel, Prokofiev’s opera portrays the tribulations of Russian society as Napoleon’s armies edge closer to the country’s borders. Monumental in scale, his production has a cast of over 400 with 70 principal singers and a massive chorus on stage.
