The production of "Eugene Onegin", shown to the public at the Dubai Opera, surprised classics with a non-standard approach to the famous work.
Dubai Opera this season continues to delight fans of this magical art genre. The premiere of the legendary Eugene Onegin performed by soloists, musicians and conductor of the Polish National Opera took place on February 22 at the famous venue in Dubai.
The Russian-speaking inhabitants were immensely lucky: thanks to the current rule, according to which the opera should be performed in the language of the original spelling, the performance took place in Russian. The orchestra was managed by the world famous Ukrainian conductor Andrei Yurkevich. In addition to his permanent job as the chief conductor of the Polish National Opera, the maestro who spent two evenings in Dubai at the remotes of the most important opera houses in the world: Liceu in Barcelona, the Royal Theater in Madrid, the Berlin State Opera, the Vienna State Opera, the Zurich Opera House, and the Opera San Francisco.
To hear in the performance of the best voices of Poland for a long time familiar and such native arias "Where, where did you go?" Lensky (Pavlo Tolstoy), "Oh, Tanya, Tanya" by Olga (Monika Ledzion), "Love of all ages is submissive" by Gremina (Sergiy Magera), "And here I am bored" Onegin (Michal Partyka), and, of course, "Tatyana's Letter "(Olga Busuyok) on the stage of Dubai - a wonderful gift, which it was simply impossible to refuse.
Amazing contrasting tones of modern production, reference voices, vivid images, the highest skill of classical musicians, the frenzy of costumers and an unusual vision of the director merged into a single three-hour harmonious dance of emotions and ended with a well-deserved long standing ovation. We really hope to see the Polish National Opera again with a tour in our city.
