Immerse yourself in a sweeping epic of tragic romance and classical music with the exclusive high-definition broadcast of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s landmark opera, "Eugene Onegin," screening at the Godrej Dance Theatre, NCPA in Mumbai. Scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, 27 October 2026, at 4:00 PM, this extensive 4-hour-and-5-minute cinematic event serves as a direct transmission from the prestigious stage of the Metropolitan Opera in New York to international theatre screens.

The narrative presents an ardent and emotionally devastating adaptation of Alexander Pushkin’s classic literary masterpiece. The storyline tracks Tatiana, a passionate and lovesick young country heroine, who finds her heart broken by the cold, sophisticated, and urbane aristocrat Eugene Onegin. Years later, their social standings shift, leading to a crushing climax where Onegin finally awakens to his true affection for her—only to realise his revelation has come far too late. Tony Award–winner Deborah Warner directs this highly evocative production, which has been widely praised by international critics for delivering a beautifully detailed, nuanced reading of Tchaikovsky’s deeply lyrical romantic score.

Brought to life by a world-class vocal ensemble, the performance stars acclaimed soprano Asmik Grigorian as Tatiana alongside powerful baritone Igor Golovatenko reprising his definitive role as the titular Onegin. They are supported by a brilliant creative team, featuring intricate sets by Tom Pye, period-accurate costume designs by Chloe Obolensky, and sharp choreographic movements mapped by Kim Brandstrup. Sung authentically in Russian with clear English text subtitles, individual tickets are priced flat at ₹500.
