In overwhelming images of nature and with a lot of love for the smallest details, Barrie Kosky stages Tchaikovsky's melancholy soul drama about the hopes, longings and failures of four young people who in the end have to realize: happiness was within reach!

Four young people become fate to each other. When the poet Lenski visits his fiancée Olga and brings a mysterious friend with him, it happened to Olga's sister - the introverted Tatiana. With the exuberance of her first love, she falls for Yevgeny Onegin and writes an avowed love letter to the beloved ... But Tatyana's feelings are hard. An angry argument between Onegin and Lensky ends in disaster. Years later he meets Tatiana again - now it is she who refuses to answer Onegin's sudden pleading for love ...

With Yevgeny OneginTchaikovsky achieved his breakthrough as an opera composer and at the same time a unique contribution to modern music theater, a panorama of the feelings of young people. Barrie Kosky's staging of the "lyrical scenes" comes up with an opulent stage setting that underlines the poetry of the characters and their tragedy as a metaphor for the vastness of natural space. Yevgeny Onegin seduces with unforgettable music and really big life issues: What do love, decision, responsibility and fate mean?
