Eugene Onegin
WNO’s Eugene Onegin is full of passion, power, drama and excitement – and returns after a series of UK-wide sell-out performances in Spring 2004.
Eugene Onegin is one of the central works of Russian culture, based on a dramatic poem by Pushkin with an overwhelming score by Tchaikovsky. A story of lost love set amidst the glittering grandeur and emotions of Imperial Russian society, it is an evening of great musical drama.
What could be more heartbreaking than when young Tatyana declares her love for Onegin in a passionate letter and is immediately and heartlessly rejected? Only after she marries Prince Gremin and becomes part of aristocratic society in St Petersburg does Onegin understand his true passion for her: Tatyana’s subsequent rejection of Onegin is both tragic and driven by her commitment to duty, honour and nobility.
