Eugene Onegin

I got to see another opera! :D Eugene Onegin, put on by the excellent summer program where I live, the first one they've put on since the pandemic. I love Onegin and this one was excellent (all three operas I've gone to put on by this program have been quite excellent). The pit was also excellent (the summer program includes an instrumental portion). And it's also fun because all the singers are younger (18-34) so everyone actually is more-or-less the right age to play doomed adolescent love, lol. And gosh, live opera is just so great. It's always a revelation to me with regard to the orchestra and how all the orchestral music fits in. And I'd forgotten how incredibly much I love all of Tchaikovsky's duets and quartets in this opera! <3 :D
