ninamargaret Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Have just seen this by Opera up Close at the Arcola theatre. Definitely recommended, orchestra reduced to a quartet, small cast, no Gremin, but very powerful. Excellent performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Thank you, ninamargaret. I knew it was on, but haven't been able to go. Was it in English, or Russian? I'm guessing the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninamargaret Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 yes, English. Women's fiction a bitbpoor, men's very good.Focuses more on the Tatiana/Onegin relationship than anything else. I enjoyed it, hope you do too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuthE Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 A friend of mine was at the same matinee you must have been at, ninamargaret, judging by the time stamp on your post. You must have seen Lucy Hall as Tatyana. I ran into the other Tatyana, Alexandra Stenson, at an event last week and she was telling me about it. I would like to see it (and I do like the Arcola) but fear I don't have time between now and Christmas. I understand that the character of Gremin doesn't feature at all... that must mean there's barely any of Act 3 Scene 1 in the adaptation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninamargaret Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 RuthE,the second part is much shorter than the first, and just consists of the duel, and then we see Tatiana who seems to have become a successful author, at a book signing, where Onegin appears. Thank you for telling me who sang Tatiana, I didn't catch the announcement that was made about casting. While I missed not having the full story I thought this version came over very well - try and see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
