DETAILS

Tchaikovsky's romantic opera Eugene Onegin, the first Russian opera produced under artistic director Ono Kazushi's policy of performing a wider range of repertoire, returns to the New National Theatre Tokyo. Based on Alexander Pushkin's original work, the dignified story is conveyed with Tchaikovsky's unique lyricism, for a masterpiece sure to move the hearts of all. It also features numerous popular numbers often performed as stand-alone pieces, such as the Letter Aria, 'Kuda, kuda, vi udalilis' and a spectacular polonaise.

Because the Dmitry Bertman's production takes on the motif from the Konstantin Stanislavsky's production, the characters are portrayed from a modern viewpoint and filled with vibrant energy based on Stanislavsky's realism. In portraying human relationships between Russian regional aristocrats in the early acts, as well as in the final scene expressing the misery of Tatyana, who has become Duchess of St. Petersburg, and Onegin, this production has been acclaimed for vividly capturing contrasts and featuring beautiful set and costume designs.

This phenomenal production brings together an extraordinary cast of renowned Russian opera specialists, including Ekaterina Siurina, one of the world's top sopranos, Yuriy Yurchuk, a leading baritone famous throughout Europe, Anna Goryachova, who has taken the major houses by storm, and Viktor Antipenko, who performs all over Europe, particularly in Germany, and North America.

SYNOPSIS

Russia in the 1820s. Tatyana, daughter of Larina, a landowner in a farming village, is strongly attracted to Onegin, who came with Lensky, sweetheart of her sister, Olga. She confesses her growing love for Onegin in a letter to him; however, he rejects her.

One night, while a ball is in progress at Larina's house, Onegin dances only with Olga, inviting the jealousy of Lensky. This develops into a duel and Onegin kills Lensky. With a heart of atonement, Onegin starts on a wandering journey.

After years have gone by, Onegin reappears in front of Tatyana, who is now a princess and is highly celebrated in fashionable society. Now, in contrast to his previous behavior, he confesses his passionate love to her. Tatiana admits that she still loves him, but that she has made her decision and will not leave her husband. Onegin is left desperate.
