Tchaikovsky: Eugene Onegin

Based on Alexander Pushkin's novel in verse Tchaikovsky's opera Eugene Onegin 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. 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.
