Eugene Onegin has often been referred to as an encyclopaedia of 19th century Russian life. Filmed before a live audience at Moscow’s venerable Vakhtangov Theatre, this reimagining of Pushkin’s doomed romance, staged by the award-winning director Rimas Tuminas, unfolds in the memory and imagination of Pushkin's characters. Described by the New York Times as “exuberant, indelible and arrestingly beautiful", this sumptuous production will leave you with enough beautiful memories and images to last a lifetime.
In Russian with English subtitles. Includes one fifteen-minute intermission.
