Eugene Onegin

Overview

Premiered at the Maly Theatre of the Moscow Conservatory in 1879, 46 years after the novel’s publication, Eugene Onegin follows the story of a self-centered hero who dismisses love and accepts a duel with deadly consequences. Tchaikovsky admired the work's "infinity of poetry" in letters to his brother. However, while Pushkin’s verse is often sharp and satirical, Tchaikovsky’s music emphasizes the characters’ strength of feeling. Join a brilliant lineup — including Ukrainian baritone Iurii Samoilov as Onegin and soprano Kristina Mkhitaryan as Tatyana — alongside the Chorus and Orchestra of the Teatro Real, led by conductor Gustavo Gimeno, in this "profound and intimate exploration of love, regret, and honor" (OperaWire).
