Onéguine: Paris Opera Ballet

About the Event

Experience incisively written and profoundly theatrical ballet at Palais Garnier: The Paris Opera Ballet performs John Cranko's Onéguine, one of the key ballets of the repertoire.

Inspired by Alexander Pushkin's verse‐novel, Cranko has streamlined the story and focused the intrigue on the feelings and relationships of the four principal characters. Unfinished loves, duels and regrets punctuate the tragic tale of Onegin – a disillusioned dandy who is the architect of his own misery. The elegant sets and costumes by Jürgen Rose recreate the 19th century splendor of the Russian aristocracy.
