With soloists, chorus, and orchestra of The Bolshoi Theatre, Moscow
Conducted by Boris Khaikin

On a remote provincial estate in Russia lives Tatiana, a shy, sensitive girl who spends all her time reading poetry and romantic novels. When her sister Olga's fiance, Lensky, introduces a friend of his from Petersburg named Eugene Onegin, she sees in this handsome, blase dandy all the glamour of the great world outside, and falls hopelessly in love with him.
