Anastasia

Musical with live music in which the heroine, Anya, tries to uncover what happened at her origins and who she really is, in a staged journey between Tsarist Russia and interwar Paris.

Anastasia is a musical in which the score and soundtrack carry the show. The plot follows Anya, a young woman who searches her personal history to find out where she comes from and who she really is, on a journey that moves from imperial Russia to Paris in the 1920s.

The production combines singing, choreography and set and costume design that changes with each era. The show rests on romanticism and nostalgia, and its numbers include ‘Viaje al pasado’ and ‘París te abrirá el corazón’, songs the show invites the audience to sing along to.

Anastasia is also the name of a Macedonian dark wave group formed in Skopje in 1987. Its music combines Byzantine heritage, Eastern Orthodox church music and rhythms of Macedonian ethnic music, and its first album was ‘Before the Rain’ (1994). The Teatro Salesianos Paseo de Madrid hosts concerts and shows in the capital and is the venue for this production.
