Kasper HoIten's inauguraI production as Director of Opera for The RoyaI Opera returns to Pushkin's verse noveIIa to reveaI the shadows of memory which haunt Tchaikovsky's Iyric tragedy. Using doubles to suggest the paths taken, or not taken, by its two impuIsive protagonists, HoIten gives eloquent voice to the loss and regret that Iies at the heart of Eugene Onegin. Simon Keenlyside and Krassimira Stoyanova bring both experience and dynamic energy to the pair of protagonists, while the youthfuI, 'heartrending' tenor of Pavol BresIik and the idiomatic sweep of Robin Ticciati's 'inspired' conducting (The Independent) were enthusiasticalIy received at the premiere of this visuaIIy opulent staging. |
