Eugene Onegin from the Royal Opera House
Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin in a new production for the Royal Opera House, conducted by Henrik Nánási and starring Gordon Bintner and Kristina Mkhitaryan.
Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin in a new production for the Royal Opera House, conducted by Henrik Nánási. When the innocent and bookish Tatyana meets Eugene Onegin, she falls instantly in love with him, writing an impassioned letter telling her feelings. But Onegin rejects her, and it's not until he sees her many years later that he realises what a terrible mistake he's made. Gordon Bintner sings the brooding anti-hero, and Kristina Mkhitaryan the passionate Tatyana.
Andrew McGregor presents and is joined in the box by cultural historian Rosamund Bartlett.
