Experience the extraordinary life of Princess Ekaterina Dashkova in a costumed extravaganza of eighteenth-century gossip, politics, poetry, and music.

She shook the world when she rode out in a soldier’s uniform at the side of the future Catherine the Great to help dethrone the Tsar.

She shook the world again when Catherine appointed her head of the Russian Academy of Sciences – the first woman in history to hold such a role.
