Joffrey Ballet Performs Anna Karenina Once Again

Joffrey Ballet Performs Anna Karenina Once Again

After the success of its world premiere in 2019, Joffrey Ballet performs Anna Karenina for Chicago audiences once again at the recently renovated Lyric Opera House.

Yuri Possokhov’s adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s novel won the 2019 Benois de la Danse International Prize for Best Choreography and features an original composition by award-winning composer Ilya Demutsky, costumes and sets by Emmy Award-winning designer Tom Pye, and lighting by famed designer David Finn.

Love is all-consuming for the beautiful but married Anna, who in the pursuit of passion, finds herself caught in a life-changing affair with the dashing Count Vronsky. Set in the late 19th century, Tolstoy’s classic shows the triumph of romance, family, and faith against a backdrop of fraught political and social transformation.

“Anna Karenina is a powerful universal love story animated by the highs and lows of human emotion. I am especially grateful to partner again with esteemed choreographer Yuri Possokhov to remount a multi-dimensional production that touched audiences across Chicago and beyond with its immersive artistry.”

The Joffrey Ballet President and CEO Greg Cameron adds, “The 2022-23 season represents the breadth of Joffrey‘s artistry, from the original work presented by Chanel DaSilva in Beyond Borders, to the modern masterpiece that is Christopher Wheeldon’s The Nutcracker, to the remount of Yuri Possokhov’s blockbuster Anna Karenina–an all-time classic set to an original score.

Following a record-breaking return to pre-pandemic attendance with The Nutcracker, we look forward to welcoming audiences back to the iconic Lyric Opera House this winter. Not only will guests experience Anna Karenina‘s story that has transcended the ages; they will witness the transformative power and innovation on which the Joffrey was founded.”
