Overview
John Cranko’s Onegin is one of the most celebrated full-length ballets of the 20th century, a dramatic and romantic adaptation of Alexander Pushkin’s novel Eugene Onegin. Set to the sweeping compositions of Tchaikovsky, Onegin tells the tragic tale of love and regret between the disillusioned aristocrat Onegin and the innocent Tatiana. Choreographed with stunning precision, the ballet culminates in Cranko's masterful use of pas de deux.
This performance, recorded live at the State Theatre in Stuttgart, showcases world-class dancers Alicia Amatriain as Tatiana and Friedemann Vogel as Onegin. With the support of the Stuttgart Ballet, under the direction of conductor James Tuggle, this production is an essential piece for lovers of romantic and dramatic ballets. The bonus features include interviews with set and costume designer Jürgen Rose, and discussions with ballet legends Marcia Haydée and Reid Anderson.
