An alluring new Anna Karenina enters The National Ballet of Canada repertoire with this North American premiere and first creative partnership with Christian Spuck. One of Europe’s foremost choreographers, Spuck distills Leo Tolstoy’s richly themed novel about morality, social reform, family and passion into profound choreography that shares the best of his modern yet theatrical style. Complete with lush 19th-century costumes, cinematic projections and a curated score featuring music by Sergei Rachmaninoff and Witold Lutoslawski. 

Lead philanthropic support for Anna Karenina is provided by Laura Dinner & Richard Rooney and The Walter Carsen New Creations Fund with additional support provided by The Producers' Circle.
