Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s opera Eugene Onegin transports us into an abyss of pent-up passions and heartbreak. This production by the Teatro Real features the brilliant musical direction of Gustavo Gimeno and the elegant stage direction of Christof Loy, drawing us into the emotions of the protagonists.
Based on the novel of the same name by Alexander Pushkin, this captivating opera tells the story of Tatiana, a young woman fascinated by romantic novels who faces the cold rejection of the arrogant dandy Eugene Onegin when she confesses her love to him in a letter. An opera about unrequited love and the repercussions of impulsive decisions.
