Tjajkovskijs smukke og tragiske hit-opera på Operaens Store Scene

Eugen Onegin er bevægende og berigende med sin storladne og længselsfulde musik, der fører os ind i den kvindelige hovedpersons inderste følelsesliv fuldt af følelser og fornuft.

Operaen, der er baseret på Pusjkins udødelige versroman, kunne måske have heddet Tatjana Larina, for vi oplever alt fra Tatjanas synsvinkel, og hendes musikalske skæbnemotiv gennemsyrer operaen. Tjajkovskij elskede sin heltinde og identificerede sig i høj grad med hende.

Den unge og uerfarne Tatjana forelsker sig i den selvsikre Eugen Onegin. Hun erklærer ham sin kærlighed i et sitrende åbenhjertigt brev, men han afviser hende køligt. Til en fest lægger Onegin i drilleri an på Tatjanas søster Olga. Hendes forlovede Lenskij udfordrer Onegin til duel, og det får en dødelig udgang for Lenskij. Mange år senere mødes Tatjana og Onegin igen, og nu er rollerne byttet om - Tatjana stråler af moden selvsikkerhed, og Onegin fortryder bittert.

Den berømte, franske instruktør Laurent Pellys sætter i sin iscenesættelse fokus på frustrerede mennesker som skæbnens kastebolde. Sofie Elkjær Jensen debuterer som Tatjana over for Jens Søndergaards Onegin, og Det Kongelige Kapels kommende chefdirigent, den internationalt fremstormende Marie Jacquot, står for den musikalske ledelse.

Eugen Onegin synges på russisk med danske overtekster.

Tchaikovsky’s magnificent and tragic sensation of an opera performed at the Opera House Main Stage

Eugene Onegin is a moving and enriching story set to sweeping, impassioned music. Ardent and enlightened, the opera leads us into the innermost emotional life of the female protagonist. 

The opera, which is based on Pushkin’s immortal verse novel, could perhaps have been entitled Tatjana Larina, since everything in the opera is experienced from Tatjana’s point of view. As its musical leitmotif, the opera is indeed guided by her destiny. Tchaikovsky loved his heroine and to a great extent identified with her.

The young and inexperienced Tatjana falls in love with the confident Eugene Onegin. She declares her love to him in a delicate yet candid letter. Alas, he coldly rejects her. At a party, Onegin flirts with Tatjana’s sister, Olga. Her fiancé, Lenski, challenges Onegin to a duel, which results in Lenski being fatally wounded. Many years later, Tatjana and Onegin meet again, and now the roles are reversed – Tatjana radiates a mature sense of self-confidence, and Onegin is bitterly regretful.

Celebrated French opera director Laurent Pelly centres his artistic attention on the frustrations of those who fall victim to the whims of fate. Sofie Elkjær Jensen debuts as Tatjana opposite Jens Søndergaard as Onegin. The Royal Danish Orchestra’s future Chief Conductor, international rising star Marie Jacquot, will helm the podium. 

Eugene Onegin is performed in Russian with Danish supertitles.
