Two strangers in turn-of-the-19th-century Yalta—one seeking refuge from an unhappy home life in Moscow, the other aching for a more meaningful existence beyond provincial Saratov—discover what they have been searching for in each other. But can it last? Anton Chekhov’s classic love story—his “quotidian” take on Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina—receives an imaginative staging with live classical music.

A gorgeous chamber piece… Mumford, with her impeccable eye for period detail, has taken The Lady with the Little Dog and created an intimate one-hour visit to late 19th-century Russia.
