Spotlight on Eugene Onegin
The story of Eugene Onegin is based on Alexander Pushkin’s eponymous poetic work, and the opera premiered in 1879. The direction, set design, and lighting are by Swiss director Marco Arturo Marelli, whose interpretation of Eugene Onegin focuses on longing and the fervor of young emotions.
Mezzosoprano Anna Erokhina and soprano Elisaveta Rimkevitch from the Finnish National Opera’s Young Singers’ Programme share insights about the opera and how they have prepared for their roles.
