Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace bursts to life in Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812. Dave Malloy’s electrifying electropop opera transforms a slice of the classic novel into a dazzling, genre-defying theatrical event. As the Napoleonic Wars rage across Europe, Moscow’s opulent world glitters under the glow of the Great Comet. Young, romantic Natasha Rostova arrives in the city awaiting her fiancé’s return from the front, only to fall under the spell of the seductive Anatole. When her impulsive heart leads her toward ruin, it is up to Pierre—melancholy, restless, and desperate to feel alive again—to intervene. Following its critically exalted premiere at Ars Nova, an off-Broadway transfer, and an acclaimed Broadway run, this sung-through musical—part rock show, part Russian cabaret—soars with Malloy’s bold storytelling and unforgettable score, offering a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience.
