content:
"Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, like Fontane’s Effi Briest, belongs to the tragic female characters of realist literature – 19th century novels where the protagonists duelled at dawn to uphold their honour or commit suicide. Women, particularly, chose the latter option when their despair grew too great or when society’s censure became too much. Anna Karenina, too, is torn between convention and passion, duty and rebellion. Her fate inspired many choreographers to create remarkable works. Even Maja Plissezkaja created a choreography in 1972, set to Rodion Schtschedrin’s music – the leading role was taken up by the legendary ballerina herself. This was followed by classic and modern interpretations by Boris Eifman, Jochen Ulrich, Alexei Ratmansky and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui.“ (Text: Bayerische Staatsoper).
