'It's a rare opera where the heroine lives and the hero gets his comeuppance'
Briefly

Eugene Onegin is a tale of regret, with a focus on the Superfluous Male, represented through the character of Onegin, who eventually recognizes his mistakes.
Director Eleanor Burke brilliantly transposes Tchaikovsky's opera to the hedonistic 80s and early 90s, mirroring the empty lives of its characters with the party culture of the time.
The production not only showcases HGO's commitment to young talent but also reinterprets classic narratives, providing a fresh perspective on the themes of love and loss.
The contrasting characters of Olga and Tatyana reflect the different attitudes of women in a male-dominated world, emphasizing personal growth and emotional depth throughout the opera.
