	Eugene Onegin (opera) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eugene Onegin (Евгений Онегин in Russian, Yevgeny Onegin in transliteration) is an opera in three acts by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky to a Russian libretto by Konstantin Shilovsky and the composer, based on the novel of the same name by Aleksandr Pushkin.
		Eugene Onegin is a well-known example of lyric opera; the libretto follows very closely Pushkin's original, retaining much of his poetry, to which Tchaikovsky adds music of a dramatic nature.
		Onegin is deeply impressed by Tatyana, and is fired by a desperate longing to regain her love.

	Eugene Onegin (Tchaikovsky) - Synopsis
		As the characterization of the opera as "lyrical scenes" shows, the poet offers no substantial work, but follows closely, often even word for word, Pushkin’s epic tale, with which one must be fully acquainted -- as is the case with everybody in Russia -- in order to be able to follow the opera properly.
		Onegin is deeply stirred by this love; a feeling of confidence in mankind that he had not known for such a long time awakens in him.
		When she upbraids Onegin that he loves her only because has now become a brilliant woman of the world it is only a means of deceiving herself and her impetuous adorer as to her real feelings.

	Eugene Onegin in Latvian National Opera
		On 27 December, 1912 was the first opera performance in Latvian, and it was Eugene Onegin; conducted by Pavuls Jurjans, in the role of Tatyana - Olga Svaine-Ziediša, Onegin - Jekabs Karps, Lenski - Pauls Sakss.
		Onegin, who has been brought by Lenski, is annoyed by the provincial assembly, their faces, attire and traditions.
		Opera is a genre that demands a highly conditional environment.

	Eugene Onegin - Tchaikovsky
		Eugene, a disappointed, misanthropic person, keeps the appointment, but returns the girl’s letter and advises her to restrain her feelings.
		Eugene Onegin is present, and capriciously aggravates his friend Lenski by his attentions to the latter’s fiancée, Olga, a heartless flirt.
		Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky (whose surname is sometimes spelt as as Tschaikowsky) was born in Russia in 1840, and died (of cholera) at St. Petersburg in 1893.

	EUGENE ONEGIN - Press
		Opera singing is high octane, intense, assertive and can be (let's admit) approximate about words.
		The idea is fine, not only because the ambivalent bond between Lensky and Onegin can be seen as being similar to that between Charles and Sebastian, but also because Charles' golden memory from a world gone to pot is similar to Onegin's final regret.
		The "home movies" of Onegin and Lensky at college during the prelude to the duel, and Lensky and Olga viewed by a wrecked Olga from a wheelchair before the final scene, were particularly moving.

		As Act I opens, Onegin has moved into his recently deceased uncle’s country estate and become neighbors of Madame Larina and her two fetching young daughters Olga and Tatiana, who are polar opposites.
		Modeled by Pushkin as a Byronic Hero, Onegin, who presents himself as a been-there-done-that elitist, condescendingly says that her candor is sweet, but that routine would destroy any love he could muster which, in fact, would only be brotherly.
		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.

	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.
		The Kirov Opera and Orchestra of the Mariinsky Theater began its week-long residency at the Kennedy Center Opera House with a performance of "Eugene Onegin" on Tuesday night, under the direction of Valery Gergiev.
		"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.

	Kennet Opera
		Initially dazzled by Onegin and passionate in the pivotal letter writing scene, she showed her strength of character in the final scene.
		It was not until the final scene, the opera's emotional climax, when he realises what he lost when he rebuffed Tatyana long ago, that he showed the fire in his soul: "happiness was once so near us".
		Opera is a daunting art form for a local, almost entirely amateur company to mount, particularly since the singers are unsupported by an orchestra.

	Online Review London - Eugene Onegin
		In the novel Tatyana does not fall in love with Onegin instantly, there is a passage of time before the famous letter scene in which she writes to him declaring her love.
		Roocroft clearly conveys the chilling effect of Onegin's subsequent rejection and her discomfort at his boorish antics at her name-day celebration, all achieved through body language and eye contact.
		It was an imaginative directorial idea to have Onegin produce Tatyana's original letter at the end to prove to her that she had pledged to love him.

		So he called Eugene Onegin not an opera, but “lyrical scenes.” “How delighted I am to be rid of Ethiopian princesses, Pharaohs, poisonings, all that stilted stuff,” he wrote while at work on Onegin.
		In fact, Onegin’s friend Lensky has much more in common with the type than Onegin:Lensky (a) is a tenor, (b) always acts at the whim of wild emotions, and (c) dies young like every self-respecting Romantic poet.
		Onegin is both a masterfully drawn fictional character and an ironic commentary on this popular archetype.

		At Madame Larina's country house, Onegin and Lensky arrive, the latter to join his betrothed, Olga, leaving Onegin to talk to Tatyana, who falls in love, as her old nurse Filipyevna realises.
		Onegin is there, having returned from self- imposed exile, and the ball is also attended by his kinsman Prince Gremin and his wife, Tatyana, her presence arousing Onegin’s love.
		Tchaikovsky's opera was written at the difficult period of his marriage to an apparently infatuated and certainly unbalanced admirer and their immediate separation.

		Eugene Onegin is a long narrative poem, strongly influenced by Byron, that touches on much in Russian life and experience.
		Onegin himself I see as a jaded, blasé, rather slimy figure with a stiff, negative, grey presence, a white face and a deeply disdainful attitude towards the country and country gentry, a man who so far has had everything he wanted out of life.
		Onegin throws himself into an armchair, leaning over one side of it and placing his limp hands on the arms: this is another Childe Harold pose of expressive of extreme apathy, the loss off all interest in life.

	Harvard Gazette: Lowell House Opera mounts Tchaikovsky's 'Eugene Onegin'
		Not only must the performers in "Eugene Onegin" sing their parts - in Russian, no less - they must also learn to act, dance, and, in one case, do some magic tricks.
		Onegin is a worldly but jaded gentleman who captures the love of Tatiana, a young, shy provincial.
		While her true passion is in musical theater, she auditioned for "Eugene Onegin" because she didn't want to pass up an opportunity to sing in Russian.

		The opera has at its centre a Mr Darcy character, Onegin, who rejects the love of Tatyana when she is a young girl, only to beg (unsuccessfully) for her love when she has become a glamorous princess in the final act.
		Onegin's eternal boredom, his wasted intelligence and constant cynicism provide the ingredients for one of opera's most rounded characters, brilliantly realised in Tchaikovsky's score.
		She is meant to be a young girl, a passionate reader who is disturbed at her intense feelings on meeting Onegin, and this was never conveyed.

		Although it has long since earned a place in the mainstream operatic repertoire, Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin is far from a traditional opera; in fact, as the composer himself declared, it is not an "opera" at all, but a collection of "lyric scenes in three acts of seven scenes".
		The character of Onegin is a unifying element of the work and Tchaikovsky's orchestral score plays an important role in filling in the pieces left unspoken.
		Eugene Onegin is directed by Glynis Leyshon and conducted by POV Founding Artistic Director Timothy Vernon, with choreography by Jacques Lemay.

	Classical Voice Review - Eugene Onegin, Opera Pacific, Mar 3, 2002
		Tchaikovsky’s delicate, intimate opera – or ‘lyrical scenes’, as the composer himself preferred to call it– was rather unique in an era dominated by the French grand opera genre and senseless spectacles.
		Eugene Onegin remains an “aloof, condescending, worldly bon ton” (in composer’s own words) until the final scene, when he shows signs of remorse and real emotions.
		Smith sang Lensky’s aria before his fatal duel with Onegin in such a way as to transport the teary-eyed listener out of the dreary wintry scene and into the warm, colorful meadows of spring.

	Guardian \| Eugene Onegin
		Valery Gergiev and Kirov Opera sometimes seem to be engaged on a never-ending tour to rival Bob Dylan's, and the purpose of their flying visit to London this week was originally intended to be a concert performance of Glinka's rarely heard epic, A Life for the Tsar.
		But even the fabled strength-in-depth of the company's vocal resources has its limits, it seems; when the two singers who were to take the main roles in the Glinka both fell ill, there were no replacements to be found readily and the performance had to be cancelled just two days beforehand.
		Whether in the almost conversational, self-communing way in which she began the letter scene, and only gradually gave in to her own bursting emotions, or the noble restraint with which she rebuffed Onegin in the last act, this was a performer already inhabiting the role completely.

	Soaring Opera hits new heights in Tchaikovsky's 'Eugene Onegin'
		Tchaikovsky's "Eugene Onegin" is a story of strong emotion accommodating itself, painfully but with resigned acceptance, to external reality.
		The plot, taken in isolation, traces a fitful and inconclusive path; what matters is the realistic musical exploration of the characters' inner lives, the tug of naive idealism against the forces of the external world.
		Years later, after shooting Lensky in a meaningless duel and torturing himself with guilty wanderings, he falls in love just as precipitously with Tatyana -- by which time she is married and settled into a life as a society matron.
