Tchaikovsky: Eugene Onegin - Teatro alla Scala

Teatro alla Scala presents a new production of Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece of unrequited love, drawn from Pushkin’s novel. Acclaimed soprano Aida Garifullina stars as Tatyana, the naïve young girl who grows into a sophisticated beauty. Baritone Alexey Markov sings the title role of the nobleman who lives to regret his blasé rejection of Tatyana’s love and his careless incitement of a fatal duel with his best friend Lensky (Dmitry Korchak). The tender music is entrusted to the exciting Timur Zangiev, and staging is in the hands of prolific stage and film director Mario Martone, now in his tenth La Scala production.
