MOVIE SYNOPSIS: Anna Netrebko and Mariusz Kwiecien star as the lovestruck Tatiana and the imperious Onegin in Tchaikovsky's fateful romance. Deborah Warner's new production, directed by Fiona Shaw, is set in the late 19th century and moves episodically from farmhouse to ballroom, with a powerful snowstorm providing the dramatic setting for the finale. Piotr Beczala is Lenski, Onegin's friend turned rival. Later performances in the run feature another extraordinary cast: Marina Poplavskaya, Peter Mattei, and Rolando Villazón. Russian maestro Valery Gergiev conducts.

"The plumy richness and shimmering sensuality of [Netrebko's] voice reveal inner feelings in this young woman waiting to be tapped by a man like Onegin. In the Letter Scene she went from hushed expressions of insecurity and longing to full-throated bursts of desire and soaring lyricism." (New York Times)

"Mr. Beczala's muscular, youthful tenor voice is ideal for Lenski... Mr. Kwiecien's singing is volatile and exciting...Mr. Gergiev knows the Tchaikovsky style like few other conductors." (New York Times)
