‘Opera UNTRAPPED Online’ Love Surrender Scenes from Eugene Onegin

Vienna

United States

Discovery, infatuation, rejection, realization. Love: Surrender celebrates the explosive power of romantic love and its heartbreaking turns through the sublime music of Puccini and Tchaikovsky. This stripped-down performance of these pillars of WTO’s original 2020 season planning allow the voices to truly take center stage.

EUGENE ONEGIN
Act 1 – Quartet
Sc. 1: Madame Larina welcomes her daughter Olga’s suitor, the poet Lensky. He has arrived unannounced and brought along his friend Eugene Onegin. Olga’s sister, Tatyana, is immediately infatuated with the handsome stranger.
 
Act 2 - Lensky’s Aria
Sc. 2: At Tatyana’s name day celebration, Onegin flirted with Olga, and an irate Lensky challenged his best friend to a duel. It is now the morning of the duel, and Lensky is in an understandably pensive mood. He meditates on poetry and his love for Olga as he contemplates the duel’s outcome.
 
Act 3 – Quartet
Sc. 3: Several years after the duel, Onegin spends time abroad before returning to St. Petersburg. He attends a ball thrown by Prince Gremin, who speaks eloquently about his deep love for his wife. Onegin reels when he recognizes the Prince’s wife as Tatyana, and realizes that he loves her. In a private moment, he begs Tatyana to leave with him. She admits that she still loves him, but will not leave her husband or the life they have built together.
