EUGENE ONEGIN
LENSKY | WOLF TRAP OPERA
CANCELED DUE TO COVID-19
Pushkin’s sweeping novel comes vividly to life in Tchaikovsky’s masterful opera.

This deeply moving Russian tale of love, rejection, and remorse is brimming with highly melodic arias and a sweeping score. Mr. Moore appears as Lensky in Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin with Wolf Trap Opera.
