Vienna State Opera 2020 present the story of the pain of unrequited love. Nicole Car is musically and dramatically radiant as the shy Tatiana, who falls in love with the worldly Onegin, played with devastating charisma by Andrè Schuen. Their mesmerizing vocalism and chemistry explode in one of opera’s most heart-breaking final scenes. With Tomáš Hanus on the podium conducting the Slovak Philharmonic Chorus and the Vienna State Opera Orchestra in Tchaikovsky’s passionate score, this performance is one for the ages.
