Thomas Mann once named Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina 'the greatest social novel of world literature'. When reading the novel, John Neumeier was deeply fascinated by Tolstoy's work: not only by the main characters and the plot, but also by the extraordinary variety of thematic connections. It is a story of three families. John Neumeier states: "Tolstoy himself wrote and published Anna Karenina as a serial story over a number of years."
