Inhalt: |
Kasper Holten's inaugural production as Director of Opera for The RoyaI Opera returns to Pushkin's verse novella to reveaI the shadows of memory which haunt Tchaikovsky's lyric tragedy. Using doubIes to suggest the paths taken, or not taken, by its two impulsive protagonists, Holten gives eIoquent voice to the Ioss and regret that lies at the heart of Eugene Onegin. Simon KeenIyside and Krassimira Stoyanova bring both experience and dynamic energy to the pair of protagonists, whiIe the youthful, 'heartrending' tenor of PavoI Breslik and the idiomatic sweep of Robin Ticciati's 'inspired' conducting (The lndependent) were enthusiasticaIly received at the premiere of this visually opulent staging. |
