Eugen Onegin - Schedule, Program & Tickets
Eugen Onegin
Lyrical scenes in three acts (seven pictures) libretto by Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky and Konstantin S. Schilowsky based on the verse novel by Alexander Pushkin
Premiere June 30, 2016
In Russian with German and English surtitles
Sated by the big city and its abundance of parties and women, the dandy Eugene Onegin comes to the country, where he meets the estate's daughter Tatjana. She dreams of romantic love that she encounters in books and thinks she has found it with Onegin. He rejects her brusquely: He is not ready for any human connection. Only years later does Onegin realize the mistake of his life and his lack of courage - too late, because Tatjana has already become the wife of Prince Gremin. With “Eugene Onegin,” based on the verse novel by Alexander Pushkin, Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky created a touching, intimate masterpiece in 1878 that not only describes the depths of the inner-torn characters, but also clearly describes the perils of modern relationships. Markus Bothe tells the story through the characters' hindsight and develops a suggestive world of images in which memory, mood and the drama of the present flow seamlessly together.
