The Met Live in HD: Eugene Onegin

Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin returns to the Metropolitan Opera’s Live in HD series with a breathtaking performance led by soprano Asmik Grigorian as Tatiana and baritone Igor Golovatenko as Onegin. Set in 19th-century Russia, this sweeping romantic tragedy follows a young woman’s emotional awakening and heartbreak as she falls for a man who rejects her love, only to realize too late that he loves her in return. Directed by Tony Award winner Deborah Warner, the Met’s production is richly staged and emotionally layered, praised for capturing the nuance and beauty of one of Tchaikovsky’s most personal operas.

Based on Alexander Pushkin’s beloved novel in verse, Eugene Onegin explores the themes of lost love, regret, and emotional transformation against the backdrop of Russia’s social conventions and aristocratic society. With lush orchestrations, stirring arias like Tatiana’s famous “Letter Scene,” and dynamic duets, this opera remains a pinnacle of Russian lyric drama. Grigorian’s celebrated return to the Met and the compelling visual storytelling make this broadcast an unforgettable experience for both longtime opera fans and new audiences alike.
