THE WORLD'S FINEST OPERA
BALLET, THEATRE AND MUSIC
Tchaikovsky: Eugene Onegin
Bo Skovhus (Eugene Onegin); Krassimira Stoyanova (Tatjana); Andrej Dunaev (Vladimir Ljenski); Mikhail Petrenko (Vorst Gremin)
Described by Tchaikovsky as ‘lyric scenes’, Eugene Onegin receives a spectacular reinterpretation from the Norwegian director Stefan Herheim. His productions create controversy and excitement around Europe, and here he takes Pushkin’s story of illusion, disaffection and frustrated love, and places the protagonists - world-weary Onegin and naïve, passionate Tatyana - in a triple temporal perspective, referencing the theatrical present, the period of the work’s composition, and the pageant of Russia’s history. Mariss Jansons, renowned for his mastery of Tchaikovsky’s symphonies, conducts this performance from Amsterdam’s Muziektheater.

"Put too much steam into Tchaikovsky’s score and it wilts. Be too shy and retiring, on the other hand, and the tragic momentum evaporates. Jansons sets us on a simmer and gradually turns the heat to boiling. It is magisterially paced, stunningly played and, seemingly effortlessly, Jansons captures every aching nuance. […] Herheim’s
innovations are often throbbingly acute (and sometimes wickedly funny)." (The Times)
"The Concertgebouw Orchestra, of which Mr. Jansons is music director, is here a dream of a pit orchestra. Mr. Jansons’s musicality is stamped on every phrase, and he ensures ideal coordination between singers and orchestra." (The New York Times)
"Herheim directs so many keen moments of character interactions that there's no danger of the opera lapsing into simplistic cliches..." (Gramophone)
"Although I look forward to seeing many more traditional stage productions, even if I do not expect all to have the same musical values as are achieved here, this is a version which anyone who loves this most personal of operas needs to see and hear." (Musicweb International)
"Star of the evening is the conductor Mariss Jansons. It's clear from the documentary that he loves the work.. and he plays it with a rhythmic vitality" (International Record Review)
