Review: ONEGIN, Royal Ballet and Opera
by Matthew Paluch - Jan 23, 2025

Cranko took the predictable love melodrama - I want you, I don't, actually I do, well now I don’t - and turned it into a full-length, 3 act ballet. It divides people - some love, some less so. I definitely think it has strong moments throughout, and an overall, refined structure that can't be denied. Add to that the layered, textured sets by Jürgen Rose and Tchaikovsky's lusher than lush score, and things are likely going to work out.
