Eugen Onegin by Tchaikovsky, P. I., 목 03 7월 2025, 에서 (2024/2025), 감독 Michael Thalheimer, 지휘자 Vitali Alekseenok, Theater Duisburg, Duisburg, Germany

When Eugene Onegin enters Tatjana's orderly life, he appears to her like a character from her novels. The young, inexperienced woman falls head over heels in love with the worldly bon vivant. But he rejects her affection - his restless lifestyle is not suitable for a long-term relationship. Years later the two meet again: the mature Tatjana entered into a marriage of convenience with the much older Prince Gremin and became a wealthy woman. Shocked, Onegin realizes that Tatjana would have been the right one for him. But now it is she who rejects his passionate confessions... A year before "The Maid of Orléans", Peter I. Tchaikovsky achieved his international breakthrough as a composer with the setting of Pushkin's verse novel "Eugene Onegin" in 1879. His deep sympathy for the unrequited love of Tatjana led Tchaikovsky to search for a musical expression that consciously tried to distance itself from the operatic pathos of his time. In his “Lyrical Scenes” he used a fine psychological sense to outline the unfulfilled longings of a society that has grown tired of itself, which director Michael Thalheimer depicts in his fourth work for the Deutsche Oper am Rhein.
