A theatrical-musical adaptation of Tolstoy's novella The Kreutzer Sonata, arranged by Richard Tognetti (~80 minutes). Eyal performs alongside actor Sasson Gabay and pianist Renna Gutman. Staged at Tzavta, the Cameri, Heichal HaTarbut Tel Aviv, and with the Israel Chamber Orchestra.

  • Maariv — “Kreutzer Sonata starring Sasson Gabay is a must-see” (production review; covers the show generally, not Eyal individually).
  • Haaretz — coverage of the Short Theater Festival featuring Kreutzer Sonata as a guest production (production-level mention).
