Thomas Mann once called Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina "the greatest social novel in world literature". Reading the novel, John Neumeier was deeply fascinated by Tolstoy's work: not only by the main characters and the plot, but also by the extraordinary variety of thematic connections. It's the story of three families. John Neumeier explains: "Tolstoy himself wrote and published 'Anna Karenina' as a serialized story over a period of several years. The novel's sense of an evolving contemporary narrative - similar to today's television series - is underscored by the fact that the novel does not deal with the death of the Title character ends.
My challenge was to bring the story to life and make it relevant by choosing key emotional moments and important characters that fit within the framework of a full-length ballet.
