Pushkin's poem recounts the tragic love story of an innocent young woman, Tatiana, and the brooding Russian nobleman, Eugene Onegin, who breaks her heart. From the opening scene in the Russian countryside to the final denouement in Tatiana's bedroom, Cranko's ballet matches the passion and beauty of Pushkin's poetry, using carefully selected...
