Eugene Onegin gives us a glimpse of life among St. Petersburg’s wealthy in the 1820s, capturing the essence of a unique world in all its glory and despair. The operatic masterpiece of obsessive love and greed, The Queen of Spades, follows an army officer who deviously learns the “secret of the three cards,” which costs him his possessions, lover, and ultimately his own life |
Enjoy opera at its grandest in a dazzling Russian double-bill featuring concert stagings of two of Tchaikovsky’s greatest works, Eugene Onegin and The Queen of Spades, both based on the writings of Alexander Pushkin. “A Russian Affair” presents Tchaikovsky’s glorious music for the lyric stage performed by an outstanding cast of acclaimed singers, led by Maestro Rolek, and accompanied by the Sacramento Philharmonic Orchestra.
