some operas I have seen on videoPyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Eugene Onegin (1879)
Nederlandse Opera, Amsterdam, 2011
- Conductor: Mariss Jansons
- Director: Stefan Herheim
- Set Designer: Philipp Fuerhofer
- Onegin: Bo Skovhus
- Tatiana: Krassimira Stoyanova
- Lensky: Andrej Dunaev
- Gremin: Mikhail Petrenko
A "flashback" concept where the older selves of Onegin and Tatiana continually observe and reflect on the folly of their younger selves. Various cosmonauts, bears, Soviet Olympic athletes, etc., are less easy to explain.
