U National Theatre Belgrade tonight (May 16) is the premiere of the opera Eugene Onegin Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The theater is announcing it as the first opera premiere on the Big Stage this season. It will be the fourth opera title that has enriched the repertoire of the Belgrade Opera since last October.
During that time, the Drama of the National Theater received only one new performance, as well as the Ballet. It is probably just a matter of a combination of circumstances, which should not include the fact that acting manager of the National Theater Dragoljub Bajić – member of the Opera.
Eugene Onegin is an opera based on Pushkin's verse novel of the same name. Tchaikovsky transformed it into a sumptuous musical drama, which combines strong lyrical emotion and the author's thought about man's impotence to reach the happiness he longs for.
The director of the play at the National Theater is Mario Pavle del Monaco, who is directing this for the fourth time at the National Theatre.
