Eugene Onegin
Eugene Onegin
(from the Royal Opera House)
Pyotr Il’yich Tchaikovsky | Opera in three acts
Sung in Russian | Runtime estimate 195 minutes including one intermission
An opera full of poignancy and exquisite sensitivity to the nuances of growing up and wrestling to
understand your emotions, Eugene Onegin is an inspiring vehicle for Kasper Holten’s first production for
The Royal Opera. Working with the Danish set designer Mia Stensgaard, whose design hallmark is clean,
strong images ripe with emotion, and fielding a brilliant cast (including Simon Keenlyside in the title
role), Holten will provide a fresh reading of this classic opera by Tchaikovsky.

“Lyrical Scenes” was Tchaikovsky’s description of Eugene Onegin: his tender exploration of a young girl’s
awakening passion, her rejection by the aloof Onegin and her ultimate choice of honor over true love is far
more intimate in tone than the archetypal grand Russian opera.Holten himself describes the opera as “full of poetry and melancholy, encapsulating the fragile and
turbulent emotions of youth, self-realization and finally the yearning to go back and undo what cannot be
undone.”
