Met Opera: Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin
Tchaikovsky’s best-loved opera is a story of love, loss, rejection and despair, and is still seen as one of the most beautiful and lyrical works in Russian music and literature.
Following her acclaimed 2024 company debut in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, soprano Asmik Grigorian returns to the Met as Tatiana, the lovestruck young heroine in this ardent operatic adaptation of Pushkin. Baritone Igor Golovatenko is the urbane Onegin, who realises his affection for her all too late.
The Met’s evocative, emotional rollercoaster of a production, directed by Tony Award-winner Deborah Warner, “offers a beautifully detailed reading of… Tchaikovsky’s lyrical romance” (Telegraph).
This is a broadcast of the 2 May 2026 performance.
