Leo Tolstoy’s novel, first published as a serial from 1875-1877, has inspired more than 30 screen adaptations, a play and a ballet, but it is only recently that the tragic love story has been set to music. The Moscow Operetta Theatre’s version of Anna Karenina opened in October 2016, and 3Below is screening a performance of the production, which was filmed before a live audience. The operetta’s lush sets and costuming are a backdrop for the story of doomed lovers Anna and Vronsky, reflecting the glitter and luxury of the Russian nobility in the second half of the 19th century. The film has multiple screenings through Sunday.
