Tchaikovsky's opera Eugene Onegin is one of the main symbols of Russian culture, and in the year of the 225th anniversary of the birth of Alexander Pushkin, this outstanding work returns to the Grand Stage of NOVAT. The production director of the performance is Vladimir Kekhman, who staged the opera The Lady with Camellias on the stage of the Mikhailovsky Theatre, which captivated the audience of St. Petersburg and Moscow.

Referring to Tchaikovsky's famous “lyrical scenes”, Vladimir Kekhman gives the public the opportunity to take a fresh look at familiar characters, their destinies and the motives driving their actions. The audience will see homages to iconic productions of the 20th and 21st centuries – performances by Konstantin Stanislavsky (1922), Boris Pokrovsky (1943), Yuri Temirkanov (1982) and Dmitri Tcherniakov (2006) – unexpected plot twists and brilliant music editing by Mikhail Tatarnikov.
