Sergey Prokofiev adapted the novel War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy into an opera.1

Prokofiev began this large-scale project during the early days of World War II, finding inspiration in the parallels between the historical events of 1812, when Russia resisted Napoleon's invasion, and the contemporary situation of his own time. The opera is noted for its immense scale, featuring 13 scenes and over 60 characters, and for its unique combination of epic narrative with lyrical scenes that explore the personal lives of the main characters.1
