Published in the early 1800s, Pushkin's iconic tale of love and its eponymous protagonist served as a basis for many of his home country's literary heroes thereafter. Eugene Onegin's riveting tale of tragic romance was further immortalised by Romantic-era giant Tchaikovsky in 1879, and the opera's proudly Russian rhythms, heartrending duets and moving arias have kept it a firm favorite with audiences ever since.
