Park Opera presents EUGENE ONEGIN by Tchaikovsky (sung in English)
Park Opera is proud to present Eugene Onegin, Tchaikovsky’s heartbreakingly beautiful story of the joys and pains of young love.
Tatyana’s quiet existence in the country is turned upside down with the arrival of the handsome and charismatic Eugene Onegin. Overwhelmed by her feelings, she declares her love to him in a passionate letter, but he arrogantly rejects her romantic dreams, and torments her by flirting with her sister. A tragic duel ensues, and he flees the country, searching for peace. Years later, at a splendid ball in St Petersburg, he meets Tatyana again, and his world is changed forever in a final explosive encounter.
This is an opera which is inhabited by genuine people whose small triumphs and tragedies we can relate to, and really care about. Tchaikovsky’s wonderful score abounds in the plaintive melodies, lively folk tunes and exuberant dance music for which he is so famous, and includes the haunting and much-loved tenor aria “Oh where, oh where have flown my days of springtime?”.
Set in early nineteenth century Russia, with gorgeous period costumes, superb soloists, chorus and orchestra, and as always sung in English, this touching production must not be missed.
