Description

Eugene Onegin, is one of the miracles of opera. Like all of Tchaikovsky's operas, the libretto doesn't reveal even half of the experience of the live performance. It seems almost impossible that this domestic tale of a young, provincial girl's infatuation with a jaded dandy from Moscow could be so absorbing and ultimately so meaningful. But as conceived by Alexander Pushkin, one of the great poets of all time, and composed by Tchaikovsky, one of the great musical geniuses of all time, Eugene Onegin has earned its place among the most important works of Russian culture. This beautiful elegant story of youthful passion and naiveté is particularly fitting for the captivating artists who perform with Opera San José.
