Eugene Onegin is an opera based on
the novel in verse by Aleksandr
Pushkin. It is a classic of Russian
literature and its eponymous
protagonist served as the model for
a number of Russian literary heroes.
The story concerns Eugene Onegin, a
selfish hero who lives to regret his
blasé rejection of a young woman's
(Tatiana's) love and his careless
incitement of a fatal duel with
Lensky, his best friend.
"The Opera de Paris opens its season
with a world-class guest: the
Bolshoi from Moscow, with one of
Tchaikovsky's most popular works."
-- La Croix, September 2008
"This production staged by Dmitri
Tcherniakov is uncommonly powerful
and intelligent, if only in the way
it packs an emotional wallop."
-- Le Figaro, September 2008
"Dimitri Tcherniakov, who is known
for his innovative flair, creates in
this production an astounding way of
preserving classical tradition and
defying conventions at the same
time."
-- Journal de Dimanche, September
2008 |
