The Bolshoi Opera represents the quintessence of Russian operatic heritage. Tchaikovsky’s supreme masterpiece Eugene Onegin was first performed at the Bolshoi Theatre in 1879 . Now, for the first time on the stage of the Royal Opera House, the Bolshoi brings its powerful 2006 production directed by the award-winning Dmitri Tcherniakov. The Bolshoi’s incomparable singers, including the sensational Ekaterina Scherbachenko, perform Pushkin’s tragic story of the passion of the innocent, ardent Tatiana for the charismatic Onegin, in scenes of torment, intimacy, beauty, tragedy and spectacle.
