The Metropolitan Opera: Eugene Onegin

Based on a verse novel by Alexander Pushkin, this opera follows the emotional evolution of Tatiana, a sentimental young woman who matures over time. The plot centers on her relationship with Eugene Onegin, a bored aristocrat who only recognizes his affection for her after it is too late. The story unfolds in the late 19th century, moving between the settings of a rural farmhouse and a formal ballroom.

For Zangiev, this film follows the 2025 release of The Metropolitan Opera: Andrea Chénier and precedes The Metropolitan Opera: Tristan und Isolde in 2026. The cast features Asmik Grigorian as Tatiana, Iurii Samoilov as Eugene Onegin, Maria Barakova as Olga, Stanislas de Barbeyrac as Lenski, and Larissa Diadkova as Filippyevna, with Timur Zangiev serving as the conductor.
