Opera in three acts and seven scenes, Eugene Oneguine is a work without "theatrical effects", an intimate chronicle hinging on the inner life of the characters. The opera gained recognition across the world as the "archetypal work of Russian romanticism". First performed at the Imperial Moscow Opera (Bolshoï Theatre) on 23 January 1881.
Eugene Onegin is a well-known example of lyric opera; the libretto very closely follows Pushkin's original, retaining much of his poetry, to which Tchaikovsky adds music of a dramatic nature. The story concerns a selfish hero who lives to regret his blasé rejection of a young woman's love and his careless incitement of a fatal duel with his best friend.
