Choose options
Richard Nelson’s 'Nikolai and the Others' arrived at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater in 2013 under the banner of Lincoln Center Theater, standing as a textually rich, historically urgent dramatic masterpiece of the season. Set over a single chaotic spring weekend at a country estate in Connecticut in 1948, the sprawling narrative chronicles a tight-knit community of elite Russian émigré artists—including choreographer George Balanchine, composer Igor Stravinsky, and conductor Nikolai Nabokov—as their artistic collaborations and personal loyalties collide with Cold War corporate censorship. Directed by Nelson, the production featured art by James McMullan.
