Following her acclaimed 2024 company debut in Puccini’s Madama
Butterfly, soprano Asmik Grigorian returns to the Met as Tatiana,
the lovestruck young heroine in this ardent operatic adaptation
of Pushkin. Baritone Igor Golovatenko also stars as the urbane
Onegin, who realizes his affection for her all too late.
Tchaikovsky’s universally beloved melodic gifts are at their most
powerful and multilayered in this opera, featuring rich ensembles,
buoyant dance numbers, and some of the most striking vocal solos
in the repertory.
