Musical Play
Resurrection
Based on the novel by Leo Tolstoy
The musical version of one of the best works of Russian literary master Leo Tolstoy, who also wrote War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Previously staged in 1962 as "The Story of Katyusha" starring Kasugano Yachiyo and Nachi Wataru.
The setting is Russia, late in the 19th century. An engagement party is being held for Mitzy, the daughter of a duke, and the young nobleman Dmitri Ivanovich Nekhlyudov, at the estate of Duke Korchagin on the outskirts of Moscow. A large crowd of people, including Nekhlyudov's aunt Ivanovna and his friend Schonbock, have come out to bless the young couple. But news arrives at the party informing Nekhlyudov that the start of a trial in which he has been enlisted to serve as a juror has been moved forward. He leaves Korchagin's residence to fulfill his duty.
The trial begins as soon as Nekhlyudov arrives. But he cannot believe his eyes the moment the three defendants are led into court. They are accused of killing a merchant by poison and then stealing his money, and the perpetrator is Ekaterina Maslova (Katyusha) - a woman Nekhlyudov once loved. What had taken place in period when they were not together? Nekhlyudov's own memory of events is filled out by a statement by Fanarin, the defense lawyer, explaining the course of events leading up to Katyusha's criminal act.
It is spring eight years earlier, while Nekhlyudov is still a cadet at a military academy. He uses his leave to visit the residence of his uncle Kolosov, where he is reunited with the maid Katyusha. He is captivated by Katyusha, who becomes so beautiful that he hardly recognizes her. He whispers words of love to her, when the revolutionary Vladimir Simonson bursts on the scene, pursued by a soldier. Nekhlyudov, a friend, uses his tact to defuse the situation, and then he introduces Simonson to Katyusha. She is worried about Nekhlyudov's connection with the revolutionary but soon calms down after getting first-hand knowledge of their way of thinking. Furthermore, the mutual feelings between Nekhlyudov and Katyusha are heightened, as they become bound together by a love that transcends the difference in social status betweenthem.
Nekhlyudov's leave is up. On the morning of his departure, he gives Katyusha 100 rubles, which he hopes will be useful to her in some way, while she hates the thought of leaving him. And this is where it all begins. The 100 rubles that Nekhlyudov handed over so casually deeply wounds Katyusha, who believed their love was real. As she stares at Nekhlyudov's back while he walks away, Katyusha calls out in tears. "I am not a prostitute."
After Nekhlyudov's departure, Katyusha realizes she is carrying his child. However, the child is stillborn. Having lost a place to stay, she is reduced to working as a hotel prostitute, selling herself to men. One day, a hotel worker talks her into slipping a sleeping drug to an unwary guest. But she is handed not the drug, but arsenic mixed with vodka. Unaware of this, Katyusha heads to the guest's room, vodka in hand.
At the trial, Katyusha's punishment is announced after all the statements have been made: Her civil rights are forfeited, and she is sentenced to serve 10 years in exile in Siberia. Nekhlyudov knows that his careless behavior eight years ago triggered Katyusha's fall, and he is tormented by his sense of wrongdoing. Even so, his feelings soon turn to thoughts of trying to rescue her from her current situation. After enlisting the cooperation of Schonbock, Nekhlyudov starts to focus his efforts on Katyusha, who claims innocence.
