Please join us for an opera screening. Pushkin's 1830 verse novel "Eugene Onegin" is a monument of Russian literature, in equal measure a biting satire of a society in the throes of ennui as well as a sweeping melodrama. In 1881, Tchaikovsky transformed this literary pillar into a set of "lyric scenes," with music that is deeply expressive of the characters' emotions and allows the orchestra to create a unified operatic language through subtle, obsessive themes. English subtitles available.
