Founded in 1977 by Boris Eifman, the Eifman Ballet of St. Petersburg showcases the genius of its creator, who has crafted over forty ballet performances. Eifman, honored with titles such as People’s Artist of Russia and Laureate of the State Prize of the Russian Federation, among others, brings his interpretation of "Anna Karenina" to Shanghai on November 2 and 3. In this rendition, Eifman distills Leo Tolstoy’s expansive novel to its emotional core, concentrating on the impassioned love triangle between Anna, Karenin, and Vronsky.
