Anyone who thinks that successful musicals can't be innovative doesn't know Natascha, Pierre and the great comet of 1812 ! In 2017, Dave Malloy's Electropop Opera, based on Tolstoy's War and Peace, took Broadway by storm. The huge Imperial Theater was completely remodeled for the show, so the audience found themselves right in the middle of the ensemble making music and the orchestra playing. The material, set around 1810, is told irreverently and with virtuosity and brought to the stage with such irresistible energy that Tolstoy's classic was soon out of print in New York.

Young and impulsive Natasha comes to Moscow to await the return of her fiancé from the front. When she falls under the spell of the unscrupulous seducer Anatol, it's up to Pierre, a family friend, to pick up the pieces of her reputation. And this despite the fact that Pierre himself is in an existential crisis.

Bold, fearless, not afraid of any genre boundaries: Malloy's Rachmaninoff musical Préludes was sold out in Linz to the roof, now with Komet his greatest success follows for the first time in Europe.
