Tchaikovsky: Eugene Onegin (2013)
Directed by Fiona Shaw, Gary Halvorson, Deborah Warner
Overview
The imperious Onegin rejects naive Tatiana’s proposal of love and also incites a duel with his best friend turned rival Lenski (Piotr Beczala). This sets the scene for a dramatic story of love, loyalty and betrayal. Acclaimed theatre director Deborah Warner presents this lavish new interpretation of the timeless tale. Set in the 19th century and moving episodically from farmhouse to ballroom, the production culminates in an unforgettable finale set during a snowstorm.
