Eugene Onegin by Tchaikovsky, P. I., No (2023/2023), Režisēja Laurent Pelly, Diriģents Alain Altinoglu, La Monnaie, Brussels, Belgium

By publishing, in 1830, his novel in verse Eugene Onegin, Alexander Pushkin endows Russian literature with a monument, both a social satire of a society plagued by boredom and a melodramatic flight. In 1881, Piotr Ilitch Tchaikovsky transformed this framework into "lyrical scenes". The music is entirely at the service of expressing the feelings of the characters and leaves it to the orchestra to unify the language through obsessive themes of great subtlety. After his recent forays into the Russian repertoire, Alain Altinoglu will perform this characteristic score of the “lyrical truth” dear to Tchaikovsky. Frustrated human beings, toys of fate, will be at the heart of Laurent Pelly's staging.
