TCHAIKOVSKY EUGENE ONEGIN
First of three performances of Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece
Conductor Ryan Wigglesworth
Eugene Onegin is perhaps the most perfect romantic opera ever written. First performed in 1879, it is based on a verse novel by Alexander Pushkin and tells a tragic story of love, death and remorse. It contains some of Tchaikovsky's finest music illustrating the emotional journeys of the young lovers. The title role will be sung, by St Endellion's favourite baritone Roderick Williams (in his role debut), Tatyana by rising star Katherine Broderick and Lensky by Mark Padmore. There is an exceptional supporting cast including Susan Bickley, Kathryn McAdam, Valerie Reid, Daniel Norman and Graeme Danby and three performances will be conducted by brilliant young conductor, Ryan Wigglesworth. This is an unmissable opportunity to hear Tchaikovsky's masterpiece in the inspirational setting of St Endellion church.
