Eugene Onegin in Pasadena


The lyrical opera Eugene Onegin comes to First Church in Pasadena.



Sunday, March 11th, 2012, at 7:00 PM - The musical genius of Tchaikovsky adds lyrical vibrancy and tragic poignancy to Pushkin’s classic novel in verse Eugene Onegin. Pushkin is the most loved and revered Russian poet and Tchaikovsky, the most lyrical of Russian composers. 

Eugene Onegin tells the story of a young man who foolishly rejects the love of a sensitive, romantically naive girl; then provokes a senseless argument with his best friend – both of which he comes to deeply regret.

Music Director Brian Farrell will lead a cast of talented opera singers in this performance.
