As we get ready to join the superb Mid Wales Opera in their touring production of\u00a0Tchaikovsky\u2019s Eugene Onegin<\/em> this Spring, MWO’s Music Director Jonathan Lyness shares his thoughts on Tchaikovsky\u2019s Eugene Onegin<\/em> as a piece, and his experiences of the work as a conductor. Jon introduces Tchaikovsky\u2019s \u201cbeguiling, sensuous, beautiful and hypnotic\u201d opera in his own words below.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be honest here; when I first conducted Eugene Onegin in 1995 I enjoyed a lot of it, but not all of it! When I later came back to it, conducting it for the second time in 2007 (this was for Longborough Festival Opera) I was pretty much sold, and on the third occasion in 2012 (this time at Tobacco Factory Theatres in Bristol) I was overwhelmed. So, for me, it took a little time.<\/p>\n

\u201cA quiet piece of beautifully executed craftsmanship\u201d<\/h2>\n

And the opera itself took a little time to become established. Tchaikovsky entrusted the first production to students of the Moscow Conservatory in 1879 before it reached the Bolshoi in 1881. But outside of Russia it was regarded with some suspicion and only gradually worked its way across Europe, not reaching the USA until after World War 1.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

By the way, can I clear up some pronunciation? It is not \u2018You-Gin-One-Gin\u2019, as it is sometimes affectionately described in the business! I\u2019d go with \u2018You-Gene On-Yay-Ghin\u2019. If anyone reading this wants to take issue or has a better pronunciation, please email MWO!<\/p>\n

Technically speaking, the opera is not actually an opera! It\u2019s entitled, in my score, \u201cLyric Scenes, in Three Acts and Seven Scenes\u201d. Okay, I acknowledge that today we would call it an opera, if we use the word \u2018opera\u2019 generically\u2026 I mean, Wagner\u2019s Tristan und Isolde is technically a \u2018music drama\u2019, Bizet\u2019s Carmen is an \u2018op\u00e9ra comique\u2019 (not to be confused with the \u2018trag\u00e9die lyrique\u2019) and Mozart\u2019s The Magic Flute is a \u2018Singspiel\u2019 (an early German precursor of the French \u2018operetta\u2019?). Let\u2019s move on and call them all \u2018operas\u2019 \u2013 everyone else does \u2013 and that makes life much simpler.<\/p>\n

But the title \u2018Lyric Scenes\u2019 is important, because that\u2019s exactly what Eugene Onegin is. It is not continuous story-telling; instead it is a series of seven scenes, rather in the manner of Puccini\u2019s La Boh\u00e8me, which is a series of four scenes taken from Henri Murger\u2019s \u2018Sc\u00e8nes de la vie de boh\u00e8me\u2019. Tchaikovsky chose scenes from Pushkin\u2019s great verse novel Eugene Onegin, a classic of Russian literature, and set much of the verse as it stood.<\/p>\n

Each scene is an episode, of which Onegin is a central character. Only Scene 2 doesn\u2019t actually feature Onegin on stage, but the scene is all about him, the central episode in Scene 2 being Tatyana\u2019s famous writing of a letter to Onegin declaring her love for him. Like La Boh\u00e8me, Eugene Onegin feels episodic, and like La Boh\u00e8me there are countless details of plot which happen between scenes, but with which we needn\u2019t concern ourselves.<\/p>\n

The first scene starts and ends quietly, as does the second, as does the third (which brings us to the end of Act 1). The music throughout Act 1 is of transcendental beauty. Act 2 starts with the fourth scene (Tatyana\u2019s Birthday Party) where Tchaikovsky lets rip with waltzes and mazurkas (anybody who responds to Tchaikovsky\u2019s great ballet music will love Scene 4) before tragedy begins to loom.<\/p>\n

Scene 5, the dual scene, is heartbreaking. This scene is actually the real climax of the opera (and the one scene where Tatyana does not feature on stage). It is perfectly placed to be that climax, in terms of the opera\u2019s time-frame, sitting as it does two thirds of the way through the opera. It\u2019s the scene that many who have seen Eugene Onegin will remember; the dual, in fact, is depicted on many a Eugene Onegin poster, or the cover of CDs and vinyl box sets \u2013 usually two men standing in a snowy wilderness. The scene is in two parts; in the first, the poet Vladimir Lensky sings of his love for his beloved Olga (Tatyana\u2019s sister) and, in the second, Lensky and his best friend Onegin face each other in a completely avoidable dual, closing the second Act which, like the first, ends quietly. This closing music, destitute and terrible, reminds me of the end of Tchaikovsky\u2019s Pathetique Symphony, the premiere of which he conducted just before his death in 1893.<\/p>\n

Scenes 6 and 7 take place years later in St. Petersburg (Scene 6 opens with a famous Polonaise that is very recognisable) when, by chance, Onegin and Tatyana meet once more. No plot-spoilers here or I\u2019ll get into trouble…<\/p>\n

The key thing about Onegin is its understatement. The opera does not wear its heart on its sleeve like some shiny gold wrist-watch, easily accessible and brandishing its Pucciniesque magnetism, but more like a quiet piece of beautifully executed craftsmanship, tucked under the cuff, ready and waiting to tear at your heartstrings if you care to take a peek. It\u2019s full of passion, but the passion is more tender, more honest, more human. There are no histrionics in Onegin, no long-held high notes, no unnecessary outpourings front of stage, no coming and grabbing you by the scruff of the neck. This opera is beguiling, sensuous, beautiful and hypnotic.<\/p>\n
