Lyric scenes in three acts by Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky
in Russian language with German surtitles
Saturday, 01/13/2024 19:30 HfMT, Forum

Four young people want to break out of their everyday world. Lenski visits his fiancée Olga and brings a mysterious friend with him: Eugene Onegin. At this moment, Olga's sister Tatyana realizes that she cannot only be happy in her dreams. Based on the novel by Alexander Pushkin, Tchaikovsky's opera tells of eternal love and missed opportunities. All the characters become each other's fate and have to come to terms with a society in which it is not always clear whether people's actions are actually determined by others or self-inflicted. To this day, the work transports its audience into a world of desire and unhappiness. Matthias Piro has taken on this material, which premiered in Moscow in 1879, for his final production and will premiere the opera with his team in January 2024 at the Forum of the Hamburg University of Music and Drama.
