Saint Petersburg-based Mariinsky Theatre is to stage the epic and majestic opera War and Peace at the Guangzhou Opera House. Based on Tolstoy’s namesake novel, one of the greatest works in the wide world of literature, the two-act opera was created by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev. With nearly 70 solo roles and magnificent choral content, it boasts a superb cast which mixes new and experienced singers. First produced during the ill-fated Soviet Union, War and Peace is performed in Russian.
