Libretto was written by the composer in cooperation with Konstantin Shilovsky after Aleksandar Pushkin’s novel in verse by the same name. The first performance took place in Moscow on 29th March 1897. The first performance in Belgrade took place on 8th May 1920. Opera Eugene Onegin by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky is considered the most popular Russian opera in Russia and worldwide. It was the second opera produced by the National Theatre’s Opera, right after Pucini’s Madame Butterfly, with which the Opera started its professional activities in 1920. Tchaikovsky was looking for a suitable story or a finished libretto for his next opera. Lavrovskaya, a well-known singer, talked to him about Pushkin’s novel in verse Eugene Onegin in April 1877. “I need a plot with one basic motif, such as love, honour, jealousy, love for the country,” wrote Tchaikovsky, “I was enchanted when I read the novel.” (…) In Tchaikovsky’s musical interpretation, the characters received a new, fourth dimension, and became our close acquaintances, or should we say friends. We empathize with them and follow their every breath, glance and move. Tchaikovsky gave life to the circumstances and the time of the plot from the very opening of the overture. He portrays both the tranquillity of a village and the glamour of the capital city. The nature also has its gentle sound representation. However, the opera’s main strength is the psychological complexity of characters.
