This show is a culmination of Treli?ski’s long-time fascination with the “superfluous man” character, a hero of 19th-century Russian literature whom Treli?ski found in both his films and his operas – to mention Mozart’s Don Giovanni and Szymanowski’s King Roger. Tackling the adaptation of Pushkin’s masterpiece, aware of Tchaikovsky’s substantial divergence from the poetic original (the digressive poem’s keen irony was almost completely erased, with psychological truth gaining the upper hand), Treli?ski introduced the mimed character of an old man in white with a walking stick. He is Onegin summing up his wasted life, seemingly watching helpless as the events of his past unfold but still controlling them. How many images from this production, which as usual is strongly inspired by Kudli?ka’s stage imagination, become embedded in the memory! Tatyana writing her letter under the watchful eye of the unconcerned, creepy fop who hovers over the trembling girl like a vulture, the parade of attractive ghost models m ving “out of step” with the walking beat of the magnificent polonaise, or the “Russian” birches gradually freezing in the distant, cold background during the two friends’ mindless duel, a landscape that speaks volumes as a symbol of Lensky fading away before our eyes and of Onegin’s spiritual death. A masterpiece!
