What to Expect
- 1.This is an electropop opera adaptation of War and Peace, so expect a bold blend of operatic singing with synth-driven pop and high-energy, choreographed staging.
- 2.The crowd tends to be artsy and engaged; you’ll hear gasps and applause during climactic numbers and a lot of thoughtful silence during quieter moments.
- 3.There are plenty of dining options within walking distance of Power Center on Main Street—plan a pre-show dinner or post-show drinks, then stroll back to the theater.
- 4.Plan to arrive early to park and find your seat in the downtown venue; allow extra time for traffic before a matinee.
- 5.If you're new to this story, a quick synopsis of the Tolstoy excerpt will help you track the plot as it unfolds through the music.
