‘Eugene Onegin’

“Eugene Onegin” has often been referred to as an encyclopedia of the 19th-century Russian life. Rimas Tuminas’ reimagining unfolds in the memory and imagination of Pushkin’s characters. The images are split between past and present, between reality and imagination. The scale of the production constantly shifts from noisy celebrations to secluded contemplation, from crowd scenes to lonely recollections, all of which are drawn together from the past just like the fragments of Tatyana’s love letter, framed and hung on the wall, looming next to and above Onegin’s armchair. The Vakhtangov Theater’s “Eugene Onegin” is a sumptuous work that will leave you with enough beautiful memories and images to last a lifetime.

Time: 3 p.m., Aug. 12

‘Anna Karenina’

The Eifman Ballet of St. Petersburg is well-known to the international dance scene. Its performances are eagerly anticipated by the fans of Russian ballet. Boris Eifman, founder of this ballet theater, chooses complex psychological stories as the basis for his repertoire. His ballet “Anna Karenina” is a true burst of inner psychological energy and is amazingly precise in delivering emotional impact upon its viewers. Using dance language, Eifman manages to portray the drama of a woman being reborn in his ballet.

‘The Seagull’

Emilia Clarke makes her West End debut in this 21st century retelling of Anton Chekhov’s tale of love and loneliness. A young woman is desperate for fame and a way out. A young man is pining after the woman of his dreams. A successful writer longs for a sense of achievement. An actress wants to fight the changing of the times. In an isolated home in the countryside, dreams lie in tatters, hopes are dashed, and hearts broken. With nowhere left to turn, the only option is to turn on each other. Jamie Lloyd brings Anya Reiss’ adaptation of Chekhov’s classic play to the stage.

Time: 3 p.m., Aug. 19

‘Straight Line Crazy’

Ralph Fiennes leads the cast in David Hare’s blazing account of the most powerful man in New York, a master manipulator whose legacy changed the city forever. For 40 uninterrupted years, Robert Moses exploited those in office through a mix of charm and intimidation. Motivated at first by a determination to improve the lives of New York City’s workers, he created parks, bridges and 627 miles of expressway to connect the people to the great outdoors. Faced with resistance by protest groups campaigning for a very different idea of what the city should become, will a weakness of democracy be exposed in the face of his charismatic conviction? Nicholas Hytner directs this exhilarating new play.

Time: 3 p.m., Sept. 9

‘Turandot’

Internationally acclaimed Chinese filmmaker Chen Kaige delivers an opulent staging of the fairy-tale story of the Chinese Princess Turandot, who will only marry a prince capable of solving her riddles. With sumptuous costumes and palace sets designed in China, Chen’s production adds a compellingly authentic accent to Puccini’s exotic orchestral palette. The opera was recorded in 2008 at the Palau de les Arts in Valencia with Zubin Mehta as the conductor of Orquestra de la Comunitet Valenciana.
