Emerging Pictures' exclusive digital cinema opera series presents Tchaikovsky's EUGENE ONEGIN, performed at L'Opera de Paris, France by the Bolshoi Opera and staged by world-renowned director Dmitri Tcherniakov.
EUGENE ONEGIN is an opera based on the novel in verse by famed author Alexander Pushkin. It is a classic of Russian literature and its eponymous protagonist served as the model for a number of Russian literary heroes. The story concerns Eugene Onegin, a selfish hero who lives to regret his blasé rejection of a young woman's (Tatiana's) love and his careless incitement of a fatal duel with Lensky, his best friend.

"This production staged by Dmitri Tcherniakov is uncommonly powerful and intelligent ... packs an emotional wallop."
-- LE FIGARO, September 2008

"Dimitri Tcherniakov, who is known for his innovative flair, creates in this production an astounding way of preserving classical tradition and defying conventions at the same time."
-JOURNAL DE DIMANCHE, September 2008
