The musical Anatevka tells the story of the Jewish milkman
Tevye and his family in the Russian Empire
around 1905. When the three eldest daughters reach
marrying age and, in Tevye’s view, fall in love with
completely unsuitable men, his consciously traditional
way of life is turned completely upside down. After
initial discord over his daughters’ nuptial wishes, love
ultimately triumphs and the three girls marry their
respective chosen ones. Anatevka will be seen on the
Lake Stage in Mörbisch in 2014 for the first time; with
its wonderfully beautiful melodies, scenery and a brilliant
production, it promises to be a true feast for the
eyes and ears.
