Peter Tchaikovsky
Eugene Onegin
„I have no need for any tsars, tsarinas, people’s revolutions, battles or marches … I am searching for an intimate, but powerful drama based on conflicts that I have either experienced myself or observed in others - conflicts which are capable to touch my innermost feelings.”
Such intimate drama Tschaikowsky found in Puschkin’s novel Eugen Onegin (1833). His most popular opera shows four young people’s various attempts to break out from their over-aged and old-fashioned world.
