Theatre Elision presents: NATASHA, PIERRE, AND THE GREAT COMET OF 1812

Theatre Elision is delving into the award winning Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 by Dave Malloy this fall, 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 fiance 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.
