Anna Karenina

The Mariinsky Ballet performs 'Anna Karenina', a sweeping two-act ballet choreographed by Alexei Ratmansky.

The ballet is based on Lev Tolstoy's 1877 novel that tells the tragic story of the married socialite Anna Karenina and her affair with cavalry officer Count Vronsky.

This performance was recorded at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia, in March 2014.
