With his adaptation of Pushkin’s verse novel Eugene Onegin John Cranko created a masterpiece of narrative ballet and one of the most famous story ballets of the 20th century. Choreographer John Cranko presents the story of the ill-fated love between the young woman Tatyana and the anti-hero Onegin to a range of works by the composer Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky, though not his opera Eugene Onegin. It is as if he holds a magnifying glass up to the emotions and passions of his characters that become the motor of his dramaturgy, which is told exclusively through dance.
