Eugene Onegin is a deeply human exploration of love, regret, and the heart’s fragility. In this highly anticipated world premiere, Resident Choreographer Yuri Possokhov brings new life to Pushkin’s classic tale, where one fateful decision shatters relationships and lingers for a lifetime. Set in the twilight of Imperial Russia, this cautionary tale follows a jaded aristocrat who must reckon with the consequences of rejecting true love.
This landmark co-production with The Joffrey Ballet unites a team of international artists with an original score by Fulbright Scholar and Golden Mask Award-winner Ilya Demutsky, costumes by Academy Award-winner Tim Yip, sets by Olivier Award-nominated Tom Pye, and libretto by Valeriy Pecheykin.
Be among the first to witness this monumental theatrical experience.
