Eugene Onegin, a story about the Russian soul for the attentive listener, is the calling card of Russian opera around the world. At the Mikhailovsky Theatre, avant-garde director Andriy Zholdak presented a radical reading of the opera which audiences found shocking, and stunningly insightful. The play provoked a highly emotional reaction and has continued to be the subject of heated debate throughout its theatric history. „Tchaikovsky’s psychological theatre has been transformed into a different system of expression, one of figurative metaphors,“ wrote theatre critics, struck by the unconventional production. „The performance’s figurative system intensifies feeling, reveals what is hidden and turns emotion into passion.“ In turn, the director compares the score of Onegin with a forest after the rain, when drops of water remain on the foliage of the trees: „Every measure of Tchaikovsky’s music is saturated with this moisture, eroticism, and tenderness.“ The monochrome aesthetic proves to be an effective artistic touch, with the white color gradually yielding its position to the black, turning into complete darkness in the finale. The scenery, full of icy symbolism, announces the inevitable doom hanging over the heroes.
