The Broadway electropop opera was inspired by a 70-page section of Leo Tolstoy's epic 1869 novel 'War and Peace'
Leo Tolstoy’s 19th-century epic novel “War and Peace” is more than 1,400 pages long. Just 70 pages in the middle of the book became the inspiration for the electropop opera of a musical, “Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812.
The story, an adaptation of that 70-page sliver from the voluminous 1869 novel “War and Peace,” focuses on the engaged countess Natasha and the love triangle she entangles herself in. Meanwhile, the despondent aristocrat Pierre is seeking the true meaning of his existence — a Russian literary trope if ever there was one. And yes, there is the presence of the Great Comet of 1812.
