Description

No trip to Sydney is complete without a visit to the Sydney Opera House, the city’s most famous building. And what better to do when visiting the Sydney Opera House than to spend a pleasant evening inside enjoying an opera performance. Tatyana is a dreamer, lost in romantic stories. When the dashing Eugene Onegin walks into her world, she feels her own love story beginning. But Onegin rejects her passion. Eugene Onegin is the journey from what could be to what might have been. Between lies tragedy. Tchaikovsky’s sumptuous opera is a study in reminiscence and regret. Kasper Holten’s “hyper-intelligent, deeply moving production” (Limelight) brings memory to the fore. Through flashback, Tatyana and Onegin watch their younger selves make choices that will haunt their lives. As memories pile up on stage, the effect is devastating. Lauren Fagan makes a triumphant return to our stage, following her unforgettable performance as Suor Angelica in Il Trittico. She’s joined by Ukrainian baritone Andrei Bondarenko as Onegin and rising Australian star Nicholas Jones as Lensky. German conductor Anna Skryleva makes an exciting Opera Australia debut conducting one of Tchaikovsky’s most celebrated works. The Romantic score adds layers of emotion to Pushkin’s tale of unrequited love. Language: Performed in Russian with English surtitles. Running time: Approximately 2 hours and 50 minutes, including one interval. Please note: This production features replica firearms and gunshots.
