Love’s young dream turned cold.
One of opera’s most absorbing coming-of-age stories is re-imagined in 1980s Russia in this brand-new production. Tatyana, a tender young woman, falls hopelessly in love with Eugene Onegin, a dashing, cynical man of the world. Thinking her naïve, he casually rejects her. When, many years later, they meet again, Tatyana is married to another man and the toast of fashionable St Petersburg society. Too late Onegin realises that he loves Tatyana, with devastating consequences for them both.
Tchaikovsky’s most popular opera is a heart-breaking tale of love, regret and missed chances. His music is famed for its emotional depth, sweeping melodies and colourful orchestration, and Eugene Onegin is no different, with live Orchestra and Chorus perfectly capturing all the tenderness and anguish of this ill-fated romance. It’s a timeless classic, given new life in this new production.
This is a co-production with Irish National Opera and Opera Queensland.
