COMING ATTRACTIONS
Theatre Elision presents:
Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812
By Dave Malloy
From the award-winning composer Dave Malloy comes Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, an electropop opera based on a slice of Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace. Young and impulsive, Natasha Rostova arrives in Moscow to await the return of her fiancé from the war. When she falls under the spell of the roguish Anatole, it is up to Pierre, a family friend in the middle of an existential crisis, to pick up the pieces of her shattered reputation. Following a critically acclaimed premiere at Ars Nova in New York City, a subsequent Off-Broadway transfer, and an Tony award-winning Broadway production, this exceptional musical expands the possibilities for the genre with its daring score and bold storytelling.
