Boston Ballet presents Onegin February 25 – March 6, 2016
Thursday, February 25th was opening night for the Boston Ballet at the Boston Opera House. Onegin is based on the early-19th century verse novel titled “Eugene Onegin” by Alexander Pushkin. This heart wrenchingly beautiful production was originally created in 1965 with music by Tchaikovsky.
If you love traditional ballet productions get tickets. The three act ballet with a live orchestra is filled with romance and drama. A patron I chatted with between Act II and Act III described the ballet best when she said to me, “it is so Russian”. The ballet runs for approximately two and a half hours with two intermissions, concluding at 10PM, perfect timing for grabbing a nightcap.
