Eugene Onegin (The Metropolitan Opera) ROH Live
Part of our 2025/26 Live Arts Series, filmed live in front of an audience at the Royal Opera House, streamed to our cinema screen and in full surround sound.
Asmik Grigorian and Igor Golovatenko star in The Metropolitan Opera's evocative production of Tchaikovsky's romantic opera.
Tatyana spends her days lost in the world of romantic books, while to her carefree sister Olga, love is just a game. When Olga’s admirer, the poet Lensky, arrives at their country estate with the brooding Eugene Onegin, sparks fly. Tatyana immediately falls for Onegin and declares her love for him in a letter. Onegin rejects her, telling her that he is not ready for marriage. Heartbroken, Tatyana is forced to put on a brave face at her own birthday party, and matters worsen when Onegin begins flirting with Olga. Lensky is outraged and challenges Onegin to a duel, with deadly consequences.
Years later, Onegin and Tatyana meet again at a ball in St Petersburg. Haunted by grief and regret, Onegin realises he has made a terrible mistake. But does Tatyana still feel the same?
