SYNOPSIS
For the woman who believes she is Anastasia, past and present intermingle.
She re-lives incidents from the years since the massacre of the Tsar and his family at Ekaterinburg: her rescue by two brothers, the birth of her child, her marriage, the death of her husband, the disappearance of her child, her attempted suicide and confrontation over the years with relatives of the imperial family who deny her identity as the Grand Duchess Anastasia.

DIGITAL CAST SHEETS
We are working to make the Royal Opera House more sustainable. To do this, some of the ways in which we share information have changed, including cast sheets.
You can view the digital cast sheets on a computer, tablet or smartphone. You can also download and print the digital cast sheet. Check the digital cast sheet for the most up-to-date information before the performance starts, during the interval, or after the performance day.
Scan the QR codes displayed around the building with a smartphone to view the latest digital cast sheets. The cast sheets are also displayed on screens outside the auditoria.
Cast sheets generously supported by the Royal Opera House Endowment Fund.
