Tchaikovsky’s lyric opera Eugene Onegin is based on Alexander Pushkin’s novel in verse – a masterpiece of Russian literature. The narrative tells the story of Onegin’s remorse in rejecting the young Tatyana and his instigation of a fatal duel in which his friend Lensky dies. The opera is constructed in what Tchaikovsky termed “lyrical scenes,” with music that articulates the feelings of the characters with great sensitivity and subtlety.
With a minimalist set design, director Laurent Pelly’s staging underlines the lightness and sadness of the subject while fully expressing the characters’ fantasies and inner torments. After his forays into the Russian repertoire, Alain Altinoglu conducts La Monnaie Symphony Orchestra and Chorus with a cast of outstanding singers.
History
Peter Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin
Tchaikovsky’s most successful opera is based on Alexander Pushkin’s verse novel of the same name, one of the central masterpieces of Russian literature. Subtitled “Lyrical Scenes” by the composer, Eugene Onegin had its premiere in 1879 in Moscow, performed by students of the conservatory. The first full professional production was seen at the Bolshoi Theater two years later. The Met’s 2013–14 season opens with a new staging of Eugene Onegin directed by Deborah Warner and conducted by Valery Gergiev.
