THE WORLD'S FINEST OPERA
BALLET, THEATRE AND MUSIC
Tchaikovsky: Eugene Onegin
Elena Prokina (Tatyana); Wojciech Drabowicz (Eugene Onegin); Martin Thompson (Lensky); Louise Winter (Olga); Yvonne Minton (Madame Larina); Ludmilla Filatova (Filippyevna); John Fryatt (Monsieur Triquet); Frode Olsen (Gremin); Christopher Thornton-Holmes (Zaretsky)
Graham Vick’s acclaimed production of Eugene Onegin sets Pushkin’s tale of doomed love, tragedy and rejection against an acutely observed backdrop of Russian society, with spectacular choruses and dances. Tchaikovsky’s powerful music vividly conveys the passion and despair of the young Tatyana as she declares her love for Onegin. This special, archive recording took place in the first season at Glyndebourne’s new opera house in 1994.

"Graham Vick’s riveting Glyndebourne version" (Gramophone)
"Vick’s absorbing production combines with movingly sung and acted characterisations to produce a reading that demands serious attention." (Musicweb International)
"Vick ... has created in Onegin a production of near-perfection" (The Daily Telegraph)
"Onegin received precisely the kind of staging and performance that makes Glyndebourne’s world-wide reputation." (The New York Times)
"Elena Prokina’s Tatyana, eagerly awaited, more than filled expectations ... her portrayal here had dramatic truth and intelligence: shy at first, she seemed totally possessed in the Letter Scene ... Her misery at the Larin ball was painful to see." (Opera)
"this production by Graham Vick so valuable. By stripping the non-essential decorative elements back to their bare minimum, he…brings the characters more vividly to emotional life… Prokina evolves in an entirely believable manner" (Musicweb International)
