Opera On 3: Live from the Met: Eugene Onegin

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Tchaikovsky had a special affection for Pushkin's tale of an innocent young girl callously rejected by a world-weary cynic. The score portrays not only the turmoil of Tatiana as she desperately writes to Onegin but also the cold, glittering world of 19th-century St Petersburg society.
