Opera premiere: Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin, 19, 20, 21 February

!Amazing Premiere! The most remarkable Event of the Celebratory Year!

(Organised by the CU Opera Society, with contribution of the CU Russian Society)

The well-known Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece,
one of the most popular operas in the world will be performed due to the heroic efforts by the number of Cambridge musicians. Conducted by Carlos del Cueto (his background among others includes studies in the Saint-Petersburg State Conservatory), sung by amazing Joanna Songi (Tatiana), Sam Furness (Lensky) and many other rising stars, this opera premiere will surprise and fascinate both educated admirers of Tchaikovsky, and the wide audience. Performed in a very professional way, involving high knowledge and artistic skills (not to mention great immersion into the Russian musical soul),

young artists are not restricting themselves from fresh experiments, bizarre and unusual actions (like dancing choir, dropping the shoes), which adds the emotion of joy and happiness to the gloomy feelings of suffering and sorrow, evoked by the ingenious music.
