Following the incredibly favored Anna Karenina, choreographer Yuri Possokhov and composer Ilya Demutsky have teamed up again for the Chicago premiere of Eugene Onegin, a full length-production inspired by Alexander Pushkin's poetic novel. 

A tragic duel, a devastating loss, and a chance reunion force Eugene Onegin to confront the weight of his choices. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century Russian society, this cautionary tale follows the enigmatic and aloof aristocrat after his fateful encounter with the earnest Tatiana. Richly layered and deeply human, Eugene Onegin explores the fragility of the human heart and how unspoken words can shape destinies.
