Opera (live) at the cinema: Eugene Onegin

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