On the evening of December 14th, a unique offline dialogue was held at the Shanghai Pujiang store of Jiantou Bookstore located in the North Bund of Hongkou. The theme of this event is related to the classic Russian musical "Anna Karenina", which will be performed for three consecutive performances at the AIA Grand Theatre on the North Bund from December 22.
In 1877, the Russian writer Tolstoy published a novel "Anna Karenina", which attracted great attention as soon as it came out, telling a love story that took place in the Russian aristocratic society in the 19th century, describing more than 150 characters, and was hailed as one of the greatest works in the history of world literature.
During the event, Zhang Yiwei, professor of the Department of Chinese at Fudan University, and Li Xin, chief host of Shanghai People's Radio, shared their views and feelings on the literary masterpiece "Anna Karenina" with 50 enthusiastic audiences.
Highlights of the musical "Anna Karenina".
The Russian musical "Anna Karenina" is about to be staged on the North Bund, and everyone is curious about how to present the big scenes in the book on the stage of the musical. Those who have read the novel should know that the horse race is a very important scene in the novel, that is, during the horse race, Vronsky falls from the horse, allowing the heroine Anna to reveal her true feelings in public, thus exposing the original underground love affair to the world. In the musical, this scene is cleverly arranged as a horse racing audience, focusing on Anna Karenina's reaction and performance.
In addition, the scene of the farm is also a highlight of the musical "Anna Karenina", in which dance is used to express the youthful vitality contained in it, and the scenes and emotions of the people in the book are perfectly restored to the audience.
