The Metropolitan Opera’s 2021-22 season of Saturday matinee broadcasts continues with Tchaikovsky’s opera about love, rejection, and regret, Eugene Onegin.
Soprano Ailyn Pérez stars as Tatiana, the country girl who gives her heart to a glamorous, elusive man. Baritone Igor Golovatenko is Onegin, who considers himself too jaded for love – until it’s too late. And tenor Piotr Beczała is Onegin’s friend, the tragic poet Lensky.
The cast also features Varduhi Abrahamyan and Ain Anger.
Maestro James Gaffigan conducts Tchaikovksy’s ravishing score.
Eugene Onegin will be heard live over the Toll Brothers-Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network at 1:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, April 2. Listen to it on Classical IPR.
