»What a treasure-trove of poetry in Onegin. You won’t believe how taken I am with it.«, wrote Tchaikovsky in a rave letter to his brother Modest about Pushkin’s novel. The composer read it overnight after the singer Elisabeth Lawrowskaja recommended it in May 1877, and started sketching out his new opera next morning: »I want to try and create an intimate but powerful drama which touches on conflicts that have deeply moved me.« The result was a masterpiece, about loneliness and conflicting human emotions. Tatjana, living in the countryside, longing for romantic love, which she has only read about in books, thinks she’s found the ideal partner in Eugene Onegin, but he spurns her. It’s only some years later, when Tatjana’s married to Prince Gremin, that he realises what a mistake he made. This production places the action in post-Soviet Russian society, concentrating on the protagonists’ inner selves.
