An Echo of the Soul: Tchaikovsky and His Women

Barry T. Brodie & Post Productions present An Echo of the Soul: Tchaikovsky and His Women

After a successful run at the Masonic Temple Ballroom earlier this year, writer and director Barry T. Brodie will remount his latest theatrical vision, An Echo of the Soul: Tchaikovsky and His Women, at The Shadowbox Theatre this June.

​An Echo of the Soul tells the story of Russian composer Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and the two women who changed the course of his life: his patroness of 17 years, Nadezhda von Meck, whose financial support was conditioned solely on their never meeting face to face, and his former student, Antonina Milyukova, whom he married in the hopes that it would cover up his homosexuality and mollify his family and colleagues. The one blossomed into a deep, intimate friendship through their correspondence; the other swirled into a disastrous nightmare hovering in the background of what became a stellar career. An Echo of the Soul reveals Tchaikovsky’s creative process alongside his personal struggle while composing his Fourth Symphony.

Starring Heath Camlis as Piotr Tchaikovsky, Cindy Pastorius as Nadezhda von Meck, and Shayla Hudson as Anotina Milyukova.
