Yevgeny Onegin Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

The opera could have just as aptly been called Tatjana Larin. After all, it is as much her story as it is anyone else’s. It is about when she sees him for the first time – the handsome, well-travelled and self-confident Onegin. And it is about when, 16 years later, he sees Tatjana – a modern, well-read and beautiful woman. But by then it’s too late. 

Tumultuous love 
It’s a bitter cold winter. We’re at the Larin Family estate outside of St. Petersburg, where Mrs Larin lives with her daughters, Olga and Tatjana. When Olga’s fiancée Lensky introduces Tatjana to his friend Onegin, the lives of the four youths change forever. 

Lyrical scenes 
Eugene Onegin features oversized choir scenes and oversized music. Yet it is also an intimate work that takes us into the remote corners of the human mind – inspired by Alexander Pushkin’s novel. Tchaikovsky referred to the opera as ‘lyrical scenes’ and could not imagine it being performed on major opera stages. He was wrong. Since premiering at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow in 1881, it has become a well-established opera in opera houses around the world.

Tittelen på operaen kunne like gjerne vært Tatjana Larin. Dette er like mye hennes historie. Det handler om da hun så ham – den kjekke, bereiste og selvsikre Onegin. Og det handler om da han, 16 år senere, så Tatjana – en moden, belest og vakker kvinne. Men da var det for sent. 

Omveltende kjærlighet 
Det er bitende kald vinter. Vi er på familien Larins gods utenfor St. Petersburg, der fru Larin bor med døtrene Olga og Tatjana. Da Olgas forlovede Lensky introduserer Tatjana for sin venn Onegin, endrer det livene til de fire unge menneskene for alltid. 

Lyriske scener 
Eugen Onegin inneholder store korscener og stor musikk. Samtidig er det et intimt verk, som tar oss med inn i menneskesinnets avkroker. Tsjajkovskij kalte operaen for «lyriske scener», og så ikke for seg at den skulle settes opp på store operascener. Der tok han feil. Siden premieren ved Bolsjojteatret i Moskva i 1881, har operaen gått sin seiersgang i operahus verden over.
