2. Opera Trip: "Eugene Onegin", by Tchaikovsky
DEADLINE to apply: 4:00 p.m. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14.
The next opera in this year's Trumbull series subscription to the Metropolitan Opera will be next WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18. We will leave Trumbull PROMPTLY at 4:00 p.m. The cost is $15.00, including dinner.
The opera is "Eugene Onegin", by Tchaikovsky. A Short History of Opera* calls it Tchaikovsky's "masterpiece". With a libretto by Pushkin, it is "an old-fashioned Romantic opera … [with]… graceful melodies, expressive harmonies, transparent and imaginative orchestration… The ballet music is tuneful and charming…". The superb Finnish soprano Karita Mattila is singing Tatiana, and Thomas Hampson is Onegin. We saw this production two years ago (with a different cast), and it was wonderful.
If you would like to attend, please submit your name to Prof. Henrich by e-mail BEFORE 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 14. Names will be selected by RANDOM DRAWING and the students notified Saturday evening or Sunday.
