A timeless story of love, yearning, and the tragic consequences of youthful pride, Eugene Onegin holds the dual honour of being one of the most beloved works of both Russian opera and Russian literature.
Following her acclaimed 2024 company debut in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, soprano Asmik Grigorian returns to the Met as Tatiana, the lovestruck young heroine in this ardent operatic adaptation of Pushkin.
Baritone Igor Golovatenko reprises his portrayal of the urbane Onegin, who realizes his affection for her all too late. The Met’s evocative production, directed by Tony Award–winner Deborah Warner, “offers a beautifully detailed reading of … Tchaikovsky’s lyrical romance” (The Telegraph).
Transmitted live from the Metropolitan Opera stage to cinemas worldwide on Saturday 2nd May.
