Running time: 2 hours At the country house of Madame Larina, her daughters Olga and Tatyana are visited by Olga's fiance Lensky and his friend, the Eugene Onegin. The young and inexperienced Tatyana falls in love with Onegin and writes him an indiscreet letter. Onegin addresses her in avuncular tones, rejecting her. Out of boredom, at a ball at Madame Larina's house, he flirts with Olga and is challenged to a duel by the jealous Lensky. In the duel Lensky is killed, and Onegin flees abroad. Six years later, having returned to Russia, Onegin attends a ball in St Petersburg and is introduced to the poised and elegant wife of Prince Gremin. He is disconcerted to recognize her as Tatyana and to realize that he now loves her. He urges Tatyana to leave her husband for him, but, although she confesses that she still loves Onegin, she refuses to be unfaithful to her husband. She dismisses Onegin, and in despair he realizes that he has lost her forever.
