Lost love, betrayed friendship: three romantic heroes tear each other apart in this famous opera by Tchaikovsky, performed here at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées.

 

A source of inspiration for many Russian musicians of the second half of the 19th century, the work of the poet Pushkin is revisited by Tchaikovsky, in an intimate and nostalgic opera, on the theme of passing time, lost love and betrayed friendship. Melodist and orchestrator of genius, Tchaikovsky magnifies here the whole range of feelings that animate the three heroes, caught in the throes of the first love emotions, doubts, nostalgia for a past forever gone and missed opportunities

Karina Canellakis conducts the Orchester national de France in Eugène Onéguine by Piotr Ilitch Tchaikovsky, staged by Stéphane Braunschweig with Mireille Delunsch, Gelena Gaskarova...


 Opera in 3 acts and 7 scenes / on a Russian libretto by Constantin Chilovsky and the composer, inspired by "Eugene Onegin", a novel in verse by Alexander Pushkin
 Concert given on November 10, 2021 at 7:30 p.m. at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris.
 One of the most poignant Russian lyrical “letters” revisited by Stéphane Braunschweig and conductor Karina Canellakis.  The work of the poet Pushkin was one of the most important sources of inspiration for Russian musicians in the second half of the 19th century.  Tchaikovsky took up his verse poem Eugene Onegin to compose an intimate and nostalgic work on passing time, lost love and betrayed friendship.  Melodist and orchestrator of genius, Tchaikovsky magnifies here the whole range of feelings that animate three young people caught in the throes of the first love emotions, doubts, nostalgia for a past forever gone and missed opportunities.  Three romantic heroes with a solitary and thwarted destiny tear each other apart: Tatiana, a romantic young girl in search of the absolute, Onegin, a dandy hiding under affected disdain an inner emptiness, and Lenski, a poet misled by his literary ideal.  Between these three, there is a runaway passion and disillusionment.  Bruised courses and broken friendships will give way to regrets but much too late.  Pushkin had his eponymous hero say “And happiness was so close”.  All is said.  This unfortunate trio will be performed by Gelena Gaskarova (Tatiana), Jean-Sébastien Bou (Onegin) and Jean-François Borras (Lenski).  A special mention to the presence of the too rare Mireille Delunsch in Madame Larina.  To stage this intimate drama, the talent of Stéphane Braunschweig who seduced us a few years ago with his Don Giovanni and who has just been renewed at the direction of the Théâtre de l'Odéon.  A wind of feminine freshness should blow over the musicians of the National with the first pit in Paris for the young American conductor Karina Canellakis.

Jean-Sébastien Bou & Jean-François Borras - Eugène Onéguine, Tchaïkovski

The work of the poet Pushkin was one of the most important sources of inspiration for Russian musicians in the second half of the 19th century. Tchaikovsky used his verse poem Eugene Onegin to compose an intimate and nostalgic work about the passing of time, lost love and betrayed friendship. Tchaikovsky's genius as a melodist and orchestrator magnifies the full range of feelings that animate three young people caught up in the throes of first love, doubts, nostalgia for a past that is gone forever and missed opportunities. Three romantic heroes with a solitary and thwarted destiny are torn apart: Tatiana, a romantic young girl in search of the absolute, Onegin, a dandy hiding an inner emptiness under an affected disdain, and Lensky, a poet whose literary ideal is leading him astray. Between these three, passions and disillusionment play out. Wounded hearts and broken friendships will give way to regrets, but all too late. Pushkin had his eponymous hero say "And happiness was so close". That says it all.

This unfortunate trio will be performed by Gelena Gaskarova (Tatiana), Jean-Sébastien Bou (Onegin) and Jean-François Borras (Lensky). A special mention to the presence of the too rare Mireille Delunsch as Lady Larina. To stage this intimate drama, the talent of Stéphane Braunschweig, who captivated us a few years ago with his Don Giovanni and who has just been reappointed as director of the Théâtre de l'Odéon, will be on hand. A feminine wind of freshness should blow over the musicians of the National with the first Parisian pit for the young American conductor Karina Canellakis.

English

L’œuvre du poète Pouchkine a été l’une des sources d’inspiration les plus importantes pour les musiciens russes de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle. Tchaïkovski s’empara de son poème en vers Eugène Onéguine pour composer une œuvre intimiste et nostalgique sur le temps qui passe, l’amour perdu et l’amitié trahie. Mélodiste et orchestrateur de génie, Tchaïkovski magnifie ici toute la palette des sentiments qui animent trois jeunes gens pris dans les affres des premiers émois amoureux, des doutes, de la nostalgie d’un passé à jamais révolu et des occasions manquées. Trois héros romantiques au destin solitaire et contrarié se déchirent : Tatiana, jeune fille romanesque en quête d’absolu, Onéguine, dandy cachant sous un dédain affecté un vide intérieur, et Lenski, poète que son idéal littéraire égare. Entre ces trois-là, se joue emballement des passions et désillusions. Les cœurs meurtris et les amitiés brisées laisseront place aux regrets mais bien trop tardivement. Pouchkine faisait dire à son héros éponyme « Et le bonheur était si proche ». Tout est dit.

Ce trio malheureux sera interprété par Gelena Gaskarova (Tatiana), Jean-Sébastien Bou (Onéguine) et Jean-François Borras (Lenski). Une mention particulière à la présence de la trop rare Mireille Delunsch en Madame Larina. Pour mettre en scène ce drame intime, le talent de Stéphane Braunschweig qui nous avait séduit il y a quelques années avec son Don Giovanni et qui vient d’être renouvelé à la direction du Théâtre de l’Odéon. Un vent de fraîcheur féminine devrait souffler sur les musiciens du National avec la première fosse parisienne pour la jeune cheffe américaine Karina Canellakis.
