Opera North: Eugene Onegin

Pyotr Ilyich TchaikovskyLove's young dream turned cold.One of opera's most absorbing coming-of-age stories is re-imagined in 1980s Russia in this brand-new production.

Tatyana, a tender young woman, falls hopelessly in love with Eugene Onegin, a dashing, cynical man of the world.

Thinking her naïve, he casually rejects her.

When, many years later, they meet again, Tatyana is married to another man and the toast of fashionable St Petersburg society.

Too late Onegin realises that he loves Tatyana, with devastating consequences for them both.Tchaikovsky's most popular opera is a heart-breaking tale of love, regret and missed chances.
