While Alexander Pushkin's original verse novel, EUGENE ONEGIN, had its protagonist at the center of attention, composer Peter Illyich Tchaikovsky and writer Konstantin Shilovsky's operatic adaptation (with an English translation by David Lloyd-Jones) instead focuses on Tatiana, the woman whose heart is broken by Onegin when he rejects her. This fundamental change in perspective actually makes for a more tragic and emotional experience, and coming from Tatiana's point of view, works perfectly for the world of opera. The Opera Theatre of St. Louis is presenting a lush and dramatic production of EUGENE ONEGIN as part of their season now playing at the Loretto-Hilton.

If I was going to introduce someone to the world of opera, I might have them take in a performance of THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO, because it's a tuneful show filled with farcical plot machinations that are both amusing and satisfying in the manner in which they unfold. There's a reason why Mozart's work, with its witty libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte (translated with considerable aplomb by Andrew Porter) has become one of the most performed operas of all time; it's a great deal of fun. The Opera Theatre of St. Louis has opened their Spring season with a charming and delightful production that perfectly captures the spirit of this delicious satire of the aristocracy.
