Tired of the big city and its abundance of parties and women, the dandy Eugene Onegin travels to the countryside, where he meets Tatjana, the daughter of an estate owner. Dreaming of romantic love as described in books, she thinks she has found it in Onegin. However, he is unwilling to be tied down. After brusquely rejecting her, it is only years later that Onegin comes to understand his awful mistake and his lack of courage. Yet the realization comes too late: Tatjana has already become the wife of Prince Gremin. Tchaikovsky based his touching and intimate masterpiece from 1878 on the novel in verse by Alexander Pushkin. The opera not only illuminates the torn inner lives of the protagonists, but also the pitfalls of modern relationships. Markus Bothe breaks up the story's chronology using flashbacks of the various characters to create an allusive series of images in which memory, mood and the drama of the present flow seamlessly into one another.

Stück-Info
Übersättigt von der Großstadt und ihrem Überfluss an Festen und Frauen, kommt der Dandy Eugen Onegin aufs Land, wo er die Gutstochter Tatjana trifft. Sie träumt von romantischer Liebe, die ihr in Büchern begegnet, und meint, diese mit Onegin gefunden zu haben. Der weist sie brüsk zurück: Er sei zu keiner menschlichen Bindung bereit. Erst Jahre später erkennt Onegin den Fehler seines Lebens und seinen fehlenden Mut – zu spät, denn Tatjana ist bereits die Frau des Fürsten Gremin geworden. Mit »Eugen Onegin« auf den Versroman von Alexander Puschkin hat Pjotr I. Tschaikowsky 1878 ein berührendes, intimes Meisterwerk geschaffen, das nicht nur die Untiefen der innerlich zerrissenen Charaktere, sondern in Klarsicht auch die Fährnisse moderner Beziehungen beschreibt. Markus Bothe erzählt die Geschichte aus der Rückschau der Figuren und entwickelt eine suggestive Bildwelt, in der Erinnerung, Stimmung und das Drama der Gegenwart nahtlos ineinanderfließen.
