==Background and performance history==
''Anna Karenina'' was the fifth of Hamilton's ten operas.〔Friedberg, Ruth C. and Morris, Francis J.. "Hamilton, Iain (Ellis)". ''Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians'' via (Grove Music Online ). Retrieved 1 December 2010 .
〕 Conrad Wilson in his 2000 obituary for the composer wrote that "inside Hamilton there was always a romantic composer struggling to get out () it finally exploded in ''Anna Karenina'', a poignantly Mahlerian treatment of Tolstoy's novel."〔Wilson, Conrad (August 5, 2000).("Obituary: Iain Hamilton" ). ''The Herald''. Retrieved 1 December 2010.〕 Hamilton composed ''Anna Karenina'', a commission from English National Opera, in 1978, and published the score in 1979. It was first staged on May 7, 1981, by ENO in a production directed by Colin Graham with sets by Ralph Koltai and costumes by Anena Stubbs.〔 ''Anna Karenina'' had its American premiere on March 16, 1983 at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles and ran for three nights under the baton of Chris Nance. It was staged by the now defunct Los Angeles Opera Theatre in a production using screen projections as backdrops rather than traditional sets.〔''Central Opera Service Bulletin'', Vol. 24, No. 2 (Fall/Winter 1982). ("New Operas and Premieres" ) p. 6. Retrieved 1 December 2010.〕 It is not known whether the opera has had any subsequent performances. The American composer David Carlson also wrote an opera, premiered in 2007, based on the Tolstoy's novel; the libretto of his ''Anna Karenina'' was written by Colin Graham, the director of the 1981 production of Hamilton's version.
