• The Electrification of the Soviet Union [ 2002]
  author: Nigel Osborne and Craig Raine
  synopsis:
  Based on the work of Boris Pasternak, The Electrification of the Soviet Union is a Dr Zhivago for opera. Personal and social turmoil combine for a young Russian poet: the world is poised on the brink of war and his search for meaning in life and love remains unfulfilled . Russia, 1914; the beginning of the modern age – the world will never be the same again, but how will the individual survive with their beliefs and dreams intact? Osborne and Raines treatment of this Russian epic story draws an intimate portrait of ordinary lives, which facing out this time of change, have become extraordinary. Reminiscent of Kurt Weill at his most passionate and personal, this work seethes with emotion and power. The Electrification of the Soviet Union is a work to excite the emotions and exercise the mind. Music Theatre Wales has commissioned a new chamber version of The Electrification of the Soviet Union, a work originally commissioned by the BBC for Glyndebourne. Not suitable for young children
