"Our advantage in this production, is that the Russian cast has such familiarity with the work, like putting on a favourite coat." — Director Tom Diamond

The Russian opera Eugene Onegin caps Edmonton Opera's 2012/13 season, with a native Russian cast, Tchaikovsky's memorable music, the Shumka Ukrainian Dancers and a set that is gorgeous in its simplicity. Tickets are available at edmontonopera.com, by calling the box office at 780.429.1000 or through our app for smartphone users.
