Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky is the largest and at the same time the most European of Russian composers of the 19th century, the author of famous symphonies, concerts, and classical ballets with Swan Lake and The Nutcracker at the forefront. The pearl of his operatic work is Eugene Onegin , an opera based on a poem by Alexander Pushkin, first presented in Moscow in March 1879. Great emotions, a motif of unfulfilled love, friendship that gives way to wounded pride and jealousy, a tragic duel in the background, awakening too late the feeling of the title character - the viewers will find it all in this moving masterpiece.
