Eugene Onegin

One of opera’s most absorbing coming-of-age stories is re-imagined in 1980s Russia in this brand-new production. When we first meet Tatyana she is a tender young woman, hopelessly in unrequited love with Eugene Onegin, a dashing, cynical man of the world. Many years later, and against a totally changed political backdrop, Tatyana is a different woman, married to another man and the toast of fashionable society. Too late Onegin realises that he loves Tatyana, with devastating consequences for them both.
