ABOUT THE SHOW
Step into a world of sweeping music and raw emotion in this beautiful production from Northern Ireland Opera, hailed “undeniably gripping”. Tchaikovsky’s masterful score transforms Pushkin’s novel into a thrilling, heart-wrenching experience. Grand ballrooms, duels at dawn, whispered confessions, and heartbreak echoing across time.
Tatyana is a young woman brave enough to bare her soul, and Eugene is the man who walks away, haunted by what he’s
lost. Cameron Menzies directs this production, teamed with powerhouse performances from Samuel Dundas, Samantha Clarke, Paul O’Neill, Ashlyn Tymms and Teddy Tahu Rhodes in this story of young love, deep friendship, passion, poetry, and heartbreak.
