The Joffrey Ballet closes its 2025-26 season with the Chicago Premiere of choreographer Yuri Possokhov's Eugene Onegin, a co-production with San Francisco Ballet set against the backdrop of 19th-century Russian aristocracy. The ballet follows Eugene Onegin, an aloof aristocrat whose life is transformed after an encounter with the earnest Tatiana, leading to a tragic duel, devastating loss, and a chance reunion that forces him to confront the consequences of his choices. The production features an original score by Ilya Demutsky, performed live by the Lyric Opera Orchestra conducted by Joffrey Music Director Scott Speck, with set design by Tom Pye, costumes by Oscar-winner Tim Yip, and projections by Finn Ross. Eugene Onegin runs June 4–14, 2026 at the Lyric Opera House.
