Iolanta: Marina Connelly
Marta: Gloria Park
Brigitta: Ellen Bryson
Laura: Aziza Suleymanzade

Iolanta, a Romanov princess, has lived a guarded life, kept ignorant of the secret that all else know: she is blind. Not wanting to cause Iolanta pain, her nursemaid Marta and companions Brigitta and Laura never speak of light or beauty with her, and spin around her a world of artful delusion. But on this morning, Iolanta feels incomplete. Awaking, she realizes that something is amiss...
