Eugene Onegin - Lyrical scenes in three acts, seven pictures, Opus 24

Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin is a cherished opera, and this excerpt draws from a scene of heartfelt confession and youthful idealism. The composer sets Alexander Pushkin's vivid Russian text with lyrical beauty, capturing the emotional intensity of the characters. This arrangement for SATB choir allows for the rich harmonic colours and dramatic sweep of the original opera to be experienced in a concert setting. It is a compelling opportunity for choirs to engage with Russian repertoire and explore the operatic style of one of the nineteenth century's most celebrated composers.
