The first of Onegin
British choreographer John Cranko’s dazzling classical ballet opened Thursday night and shows are scheduled until September 11th.
OneginBased on a novel in verse by Russian author Alexander Pushkin, it describes the story of a mismatched love between Tatiana, a young woman who lives with her mother and sister in a rich rural environment, and Onegin, a sophisticated and cynical man of the capital who arrives at the home of Tatiana’s family and falls in love with this girl without reciprocating her.
After the years – years of stage, of course – the situation will turn around with an unexpected turn.
Other important characters in the play are Lenski, Onegin’s poet and friend despite their personalities being so opposite; and Olga, Tatiana’s sister and Lensky’s girlfriend, who with her somewhat innocent coquetry will unintentionally unleash the tragedy with which the second act ends: Onegin kills her friend Lensky in a gun duel.
Another more episodic character, but of undoubted weight, is Prince Gremin, with whom Tatiana gets married.
This Sunday, September 4th, at 17:00, the function of Onegin with guest dancers of the Stuttgart Ballet: www.teatrocolon.org.ar
