Intermountain Opera Bozeman continues its 2018-19 season with a Tchaikovsky’s monumental Russian opera Eugene Onegin. Performances will take place Friday, April 26th at 7pm, followed by a Sunday matinee on April 28th at 3pm. Both engagements will be held at the Willson Auditorium in Downtown Bozeman.
Based on Pushkin’s sweeping story of love, jealousy, and aristocratic life in Imperial Russia, this opera transports the audience to a time of sparkling ballrooms, lush country estates, duels, and romance. The arrogant Eugene Onegin (portrayed by Mark Womack) brings chaos and tragedy to a small country village while attracting the adoration of Tatyana (Sarah Tucker), the daughter of a wealthy landowner. Audiences will enjoy the unexpected and satisfying ending.
Eugene Onegin is directed by Nathan Troup, features conductor Adam Turner, and is brought to life by a talented cast of performers. For tickets and information about other upcoming productions, visit www.intermountainopera.org or call (406) 587-2889.
Prior to the Willson stagings, join for Behind the Scenes of Eugene Onegin on Sunday, April 21st at 2pm. Presented in collaboration with MSU Wonderlust, the afternoon event will be held at Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Bozeman, located at 325 N 25th Ave.
