| | Eugene Onegin in Latvian National Opera |
| | I wanted to create a musical illustration for Onegin; therefore I was challenged to an inevitable use of the dramatic form and I am ready to meet all the consequences proceeding from my notorious misunderstanding of the stage and inability to choose the plot. | | | And if even a tiny part of what I experienced when composing this opera echoes in the listener I would be gratified and I don't need anything else. | | | It was first staged by the Latvian National Opera on 3 January, 1920; conducted by Teodors Reiters, Tatyana's part was sung by Olga Plavniece, Onegin - Emils Maurins, Lenski - Pauls Sakss. |

| | Shortly before his marriage he had written Eugene Onegin, the great Fourth Symphony, and the famous Violin Concerto; afterwards, he quit his job and floundered for several years, unable to compose any significant music. | | | So he called Eugene Onegin not an opera, but “lyrical scenes.” “How delighted I am to be rid of Ethiopian princesses, Pharaohs, poisonings, all that stilted stuff,” he wrote while at work on Onegin. | | | For the audience, the tedium and monotony of these small lives is relieved by the beauty and richness of the music. |

| | Valery Gergiev and Kirov Opera sometimes seem to be engaged on a never-ending tour to rival Bob Dylan's, and the purpose of their flying visit to London this week was originally intended to be a concert performance of Glinka's rarely heard epic, A Life for the Tsar. | | | But even the fabled strength-in-depth of the company's vocal resources has its limits, it seems; when the two singers who were to take the main roles in the Glinka both fell ill, there were no replacements to be found readily and the performance had to be cancelled just two days beforehand. | | | They, like everybody involved in the performance, have lived with this opera all their professional careers, and that really makes a difference. |

| | This combination of factors made for a more than acceptable performance of Tchaikovsky's most popular opera, Yevgeny Onegin, in a new production for the company, which I believe they are singing in Russian for the first time after an English-language version in the late '90s. | | | His aria was breathtakingly sung with full tone and real empathy for the character's melancholy before his death. | | | The opera has at its centre a Mr Darcy character, Onegin, who rejects the love of Tatyana when she is a young girl, only to beg (unsuccessfully) for her love when she has become a glamorous princess in the final act. |
