«Евгений Онегин»: Yevgeny Onegin Tchaikovsky, P. I.

Поставленная в 1996 году, опера «Евгений Онегин» П.И. Чайковского в музыкальной редакции Е.В. Колобова – классическое проявление и высшее достижение авторского театра, каким была Новая Опера при жизни отца-основателя. Евгений Владимирович Колобов привлек к работе замечательную творческую команду. Именно дирижер-постановщик стал главным невидимым режиссером спектакля, определив его основные акценты и общую драматургическую направленность.

Е.В. Колобов: «Опера "Евгений Онегин" по сути своей – трагедия. Во всяком случае, я так эту оперу слышу, так ее чувствую. Поэтому для меня этот
спектакль – как бы Дуэль с большой буквы: Онегина и Ленского, Ленского и Ольги, Онегина и Татьяны, Татьяны и Гремина… Не случайно у самого Чайковского в первом варианте оперы последние слова главного героя звучали так: "О смерть, о смерть, иду искать тебя!", ими я и заканчиваю свой спектакль». Добавим, – за этими словами Онегина в версии Е.В. Колобова следует музыка пятой, «дуэльной» картины (фрагменты вступления и тема предсмертной арии Ленского).

Staged in 1996, Tchaikovsky’s opera Eugene Onegin in Evgeny Kolobov’s interpretation is a classical manifestation of and the ultimate in the author’s theatre, which the Novaya Opera was in the lifetime of its founding father. Kolobov engaged a remarkable creative team to work on the project. It was the conductor that became the chief invisible director of the production, defining its focal points and drama orientation.

Evgeny Kolobov:“Eugene Onegin is virtually a tragedy. Anyway, that’s how I hear this opera, how I feel it. This is why, for me, this opera is a Duel, with the capital “D”, between Onegin and Lensky, Lensky and Olga, Onegin and Tatyana, Tatyana and Gremin. It is no coincidence that in the first version of the Tchaikovsky opera, the last words of the protagonist were: “O death, I’m looking forward to you!”, and with these words I finish my production.” In addition, in Kolobov’s version the final words are followed by the music of the fifth, “duel” scene (excerpts from the introduction and the theme of Lensky’s last aria). 

Evgeny Kolobov about the production. 

“I can’t understand how it could be possible to make a Russian tall tale from this opera, to make jam, when Life is being murdered…”

“…When Gremin sings his aria, he is not alone; all the chorus is there and all the generals sing one of the stanzas instead of him and as if together with him. Because this is a tragic aria, and not what is usually sung: “All men surrender to Love's power” (meaning that I’m quite a man, I can love - such a self-conceited, youthy man’s man). But this is a tragic aria - why have I fallen in love with this girl? He is a man who has gone through the war and has lived a long life; he understands that she doesn’t love him! She is faithful to him, but she doesn’t love him! This is the tragedy that “all men surrender to” — that’s the point! This is a heart cry, not boasting!“

‘”No one understands me” — this is what the production is about …’

The production was awarded the Golden Mask national theatrical prize as the best musical performance of the 1996/97 season
