Heartbeat Opera Spring Festival: Eugene Onegin

Sun Apr 07 2024 | 8:00PM – 10:00PM | Sun Apr 07 2024

Event Description:

Eugene Onegin - A brand new 100-minute adaptation, sung in Russian. Inside the ornamented drawing rooms of a buttoned-up society, three young outsiders flame into mismatched passion and combust, hurtling toward irreparable choices. Tchaikovsky’s long-suppressed queerness floods into every character of this propulsive drama, as they smash against one of the most romantic operatic scores in history. Our radical adaptation maps the composer’s own complex biography onto his characters and asks — how can we ever break free of the life we are born into?
