	Eugene Onegin @ Royal Opera House, London: opera review
		What surprised me was the way that his voice has matured and become fuller and richer — he seems to have shaded it specially for the role — and his projection was superb.
		His love duet with Olga in the first scene was ardently done; his voice rode the large forces of the party scene in Act II with ease, conveying his anger at Onegin's flirting with Olga; and his aria just before his death could scarce have carried more poignancy.
		As Onegin, the popular Russian baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky returned to a role he first sang at the House in 1993.

	washingtonpost.com: The Kirov's Passionate 'Eugene Onegin'
		But such is Tchaikovsky's "Eugene Onegin," a work of such finely distilled melancholy and intricately detailed emotional ambivalence that it will always make its strongest impression on those who have lived long enough to know whereof it speaks.
		"Eugene Onegin" is based closely on the dramatic poem by Alexander Pushkin, a reading of which will add immeasurably to one's appreciation of the opera.
		Pushkin was himself killed in a duel, embodying the maxim he set down in the final stanza of "Eugene Onegin" -- "Blessed is he who leaves the glory / Of life's gay feast ere time is up." The philosophy may be questionable, but the poetry cannot be denied.

		The dance high point of Eugene Onegin comes early in the second act when Tatyana is in her bedroom supposed to be asleep.
		The silhouette view of Lensky and Onegin at one metre from one another shooting one another in the head (you can't miss at that distance) as the women cry and gasp in the foreground was stagy and comic.

	DAILY TELEGIRAFFE: Ralph Fiennes and Pushkin's Eugene Onegin
		Reading "Eugene Onegin" for the first time, I was struck by the complementary arcs of its hero and its heroine, and I found myself imagining it as a play or a film.
		It was at Mikhailovskoye that he wrote many of the central passages of "Eugene Onegin." In 1826, Nicholas I granted Pushkin permission to return to Moscow, where he was forced to accept a somewhat humiliating rank in the Tsar's court.
		Vladimir Nabokove, in the foreword to his deliberately literal version of "Eugene Onegin," writes that it is impossible to translate the poem--that it is best to sacrifice "elegance, euphony, clarity, good taste, modern usage, and even grammar" for something closer to Pushkin's line-by-line meaning.

		While Tchaikovsky was writing Eugene Onegin, he received a passionate love letter from an unnoticed young woman who attended one of his large lecture hall classes and who was begging to meet him.
		Caught up in his own disdain for Onegin and his sympathy for Tatiana, Tchaikovsky who was 37 years old had been considering marriage for some time, hoping to achieve the comforts of a regular home life and to overcome the gossip about his veritable homosexuality.
		Olga, a carefree airhead, punishes Lensky’s jealously by insisting that Onegin’s flirting is nothing and by allowing Onegin to escort her for the evening’s grand cotillion promenade.

	DAILY TELEGIRAFFE: Ralph Fiennes' Film of Eugene Onegin
		The disastrous 11 weeks of marriage that followed pushed Tchaikovsky to the very brink of sanity, and it was only the arrangement of a hasty annulment that allowed the composer to put aside thoughts of suicide and concentrate on completing his operatic masterwork.
		Onegin is a "lishny chelovek"--a "spare" or "superfluous" man. Bored and cynical about his life as a Petersburg dandy, Onegin dreads country life even more as he is summoned to the deathbed of his uncle.
		Vladimir Nabokov, who himself translated "Eugene Onegin", described its intricate rhyme scheme as a spinning ball; the pattern blurs with speed in the middle, but is slower and more visible at the edges.

	Opera Review: `Eugene Onegin'
		His account of the disaffected Onegin became a Russian classic for its use of language and its depiction of a self-absorbed society.

		A number of children attended the opening "Onegin" performance, as did a bevy of young women associated with the Princeton Ballet, and the usual mature audience.

		Stanza 45 in chapter 1 describes the hero of the novel, Eugene Onegin, and depicts his disenchantment with life, and with humans in general.
		This stanza clearly shows similarities between Onegin and Pushkin, although the author denies throughout the novel that Onegin is a representation of himself.
		Furthermore, the comparisons made between Onegin and the narrator, particularly their disenchantment with life, and the tone that the narrator describes Onegin in, explain a lot of his interactions with others.

		Onegin, who has been brought by Lenski, is annoyed by the provincial assembly, their faces, attire and traditions.
		I wanted to create a musical illustration for Onegin; therefore I was challenged to an inevitable use of the dramatic form and I am ready to meet all the consequences proceeding from my notorious misunderstanding of the stage and inability to choose the plot.
		Therefore the requital is so complete, therefore Onegin remains "as struck by lightning." She had all the trumps in her hand to revenge, to humiliate, to level with the ground, but she gave it all up by pronouncing only one phrase: "I love you - why deny it?" Why deny it?

	Eugene Onegin by Alexander Pushkin « Book Review « ReadySteadyBook - a literary site
		As well as his masterpieces -- the verse novel Eugene Onegin and the narrative poem The Bronze Horseman -- Pushkin wrote one of the first important Russian dramas, Boris Godunov, the first great Russian historical novel, The Captain’s Daughter, and perhaps the greatest of all Russian short stories, The Queen of Spades.
		First, the pseudo-sophisticated and Byronic hero, Eugene Onegin, rejects the love of Tatyana, a young girl brought up in the provinces; then he kills his friend Lensky in a duel he does not want to be fighting; then, some years later, he is himself rejected by the now-married and more sophisticated Tatyana.
		Far from it – Eugene Onegin is a work that repays any number of re-readings, and a good translation will always illuminate some facets of the original that are revealed less clearly by other translations.

		When Eugene's turn for salutation arrives, the girl's exhausted gaze, her discomposure, her confusion, expose his soul to an intrusion of pity: in his silent bow, and in his look there shows somehow a wondrous tenderness.
