Following her acclaimed 2024 company debut in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, soprano Asmik Grigorian returns to the Met as Tatiana, the lovestruck young heroine in this ardent operatic adaptation of Pushkin. Baritone Igor Golovatenko reprises his portrayal of the urbane Onegin, who realizes his affection for her all too late. The Met’s evocative production, directed by Tony Award–winner Deborah Warner, “offers a beautifully detailed reading of … Tchaikovsky’s lyrical romance” (The Telegraph).

Eugene Onegin

Lincoln Center

Tchaikovsky's many moods – tender, grand, melancholic – are given free rein in Eugene Onegin . The opera is based on Pushkin's iconic verse novel. In a similar way, Tchaikovsky took Western European opera traditions and transformed them into an authentic and indisputably Russian work.

At the center of the opera is the young Tatyana, who develops from a sentimental teenager to a perfect woman in one of the most compelling character developments in opera history. Eugene Onegin had its world premiere at the Maly Theatre in Moscow in 1879, with students from the Moscow Conservatory. In 1881, it had its professional premiere at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow.
