Eugene Onegin at the Zürich Opera House

Music Direction Gianandrea Noseda Producer Barrie Kosky Tatyana Ekaterina Sannikova Onegin Igor Golovatenko Lensky Benjamin Bernheim Gremin Vitalij Kowaljow | 24.02.2023

So, I finally got around to writing about my experience seeing Eugene Onegin at the Zürich Opera House. Let's get into it! 

The show started promptly at 7 pm, but we were allowed to enter the auditorium at 6 pm. Before the performance, there was a 15-minute introduction of the opera. However, since I'm not fluent in German, I could only understand about 80% of it.

The production, directed by Barrie Kosky, was set in an "idyllic forest" and remained more or less the same throughout the entire opera. The stage was a rotating turf surrounded by fake trees. The only time there was an additional set was during the Gremin’s palace scene, but it was dismantled during Onegin’s arioso, creating a distraction for the audience (or at least for me). 

I initially didn't understand the director's creative directions, particularly the symbolism of the jam jar that appeared hold significant meaning, until I read this review that shed some light on it. 

To my untrained ears, the performers were vocally exceptional. The auditorium was relatively small, and their voices reached even the farthest seat. Each performer excelled in their respective arias, but I was particularly impressed by Kowaljow’s rendition of Gremin’s “All men surrender to Love's power” aria, which I specifically wrote on my note as being sung “perfectly”. Sannikova and Golovatenko shared a believable chemistry, which is an crucial element of playing Tatyana and Onegin. Bernheim, who was on his home turf *ba dum tss*, received the loudest and longest cheers from the audience, which was so well-deserved. 

Here are some notable moments of this production: 

The whole scene of Olga/Lesky duet was unfortunately completely blocked from my view. However, there was a cute moment when those two were singing, Onegin and Tatyana were busy flirting with each other.

During the party scene, Onegin was jokingly massaging Lensky’s shoulders when he was being sulky. I assumed this was a character choice made by Golovatenko. It was quite funny. 

The pre-duel scene between Lensky and Onegin was executed with more respect compared to the Komische Oper's version of this production. Onegin was not mockingly laughing at Lensky. At the end of their duet, they were just sitting side-by-side, with Onegin’s arm over Lensky’s shoulders, which made the subsequent duel seem pointless. 

The duel scene in Act 2 was played off-stage. Tatyana’s scream echoed as Onegin returned to the stage with his once white now stained with blood, closing the act with the most dramatic end.

During the introduction session, it was explained that the rain effect used in the final scene was actually warm water to ensure that the performers would not feel cold while singing the most poignant duet. 

Overall, it was a great experience. I did not dislike this production. Neverteless, I did wish that some of the moments were played differently. Despite being a simple opera, Eugene Onegin has a lot of nuances that unfortunately only few productions manage to capture.

DIA 9 DE MARÇO DE 2024: NA GULBENKIAN NOTÁVEL OPERA CINEMA .!LA FORZA DEL DESTINO DO MET NUMA SOMBRIA ENCENAÇÃO DE TRELINSKY DOMINADA PELA VOZ DE LISE DAVIDSEN . CULMINOU COM CEIA NO GAMBRINUS : só frequento as transmissões HD da Gulbenkian para Wagner e outros casos excepcionais . Para mim e para a Zaza. streamings de ópera eram em casa . Mas ontem era Lise Davidsen . A soprano norueguesa é com Asmik Grigorian uma das minhas “paixões líricas “ e merecia o sacrifício de enfrentar um ambiente que detesto . A sessão estava esgotada mas tive a sorte de a minha colega e amiga Professora Luísa Figueira me oferecer um bilhete ! Se La Forza del Destino de Verdi tem música muito bela o enredo é de romance de cordel uma “história de Correio da Manhã” difícil de encenar . Mas o polaco Marius Trelinski venceu o desafio .A relação de sucesso entre Trelinski e o Met começou em 2015 com a dupla do “Castelo da Barba Azul” de Bartok e a “Iolanta”. de Tchaikovsky e no ano seguinte , com o “Tristan und Isolde” de Wagner. O êxito da sua abordagem reside no carácter cinematográfico das suas produções .

A encenação de Trelinski foi. meticulosamente concebida, como um filme serie negra . Na abertura da ópera estamos num hotel banhado a ouro na festa de aniversário de Leonora filha do Marquês de Calatrava onde pode ver-se a elite da sociedade e as forças militares seguidoras de Calatrava uma figura “Hitler-like” . Depois da morte acidental de Calatrava todos os personagens ficam escravos da situação.É uma história épica que se desenrola ao longo de cerca de 20 anos.O cenário está em movimento quase permanente, como uma espécie de metáfora para a corrida louca do destino e dos acontecimentos que não se podem parar. Leonora, atormentada pela culpa, foge, sofre um acidente de carro e busca redenção num mosteiro , onde experimenta uma visão religiosa e flagelação; a guerra eclodiu e está em toda parte - nos vídeos de Bartek Macias; confusão, morte e destruição assumem o palco antes de cada acto. Arame farpado, um hospital sujo, uma série deprimente de tendas e túmulos de soldados , eventualmente, destruição total, quase distópica para o último acto , que acontece no meio de uma população de sem-abrigos numa estação de metro bombardeada. Goste-se ou não, é muito eficaz. Lise Davidsen dmominou completamente como Leonora esta produção de La forza del destino de Verdi na Metropolitan Opera.!Os pontos altos do canto da norueguesa nesta estreia no papel foram - no Ato II 'Madre, pietosa Vergine' e no Ato IV 'Pace, pace, mio Dio!' Davidsen esteve totalmente no controle de seu som escuro - mais escuro, do que o habitual para os grandes papéis de soprano Verdi - e a sua voz subiu de profundezas quentes para alturas brilhantes e notas de topo que cravam o ouvinte na cadeira . Mas o instrumento de Davidsen mostrou que também pode demonstrar o refinamento mais requintado nos pianíssimos .No geral, não achei a atuação do tenor Brian Jagde como Álvaro totalmente convincente, embora, ,estivesse no seu melhor no final da opera .Sem dúvida, Igor Golovatenko provou ser o melhor ator cantor , sabendo usar o seu som de barítono russo expressivo e ressonante para moldar o papel vingativo fanático de Carlo.A voz imponente de Howard transmitiu tanto a arrogância do Marquês quanto a desconfiança do Guardião. O baixo Patrick Carfizzi, interpretou com mestria o personagem brusco e sarcástico de Fra Melitone. O elemento mais fraco foi a mezzo-soprano Judit Kutasi na estreia como como Preziosilla.A execução orquestral de Nézet-Séguin, foi tão emocionante quanto as performances vocais. Com um ritmo perfeito, este espetáculo de quatro horas passou veloz . Classificação *****.Seguimos depois para o Gambrinus .Está diferente mas continuam lá a tapeçaria do Rolando .o pão de centeio torrado com manteiga as gambas al agillo e o linguado com alcaparras .Estavam excelentes .

작년부터 푸시킨을 읽지는 않고 듣기만 하네. 전통 러시안 목소리와 사운드. 소프라노 리스 다비드센와 바실리 페트렌코의 메트 오페라 데뷔. 작년에 들었던 얀손스 지휘의 스페이드 여왕과는 대조적이다. 전체적인 안정감과 완성도는 얀손스 지휘였지만 각 장면마다의 극적인 감정의 피치를 끌어 올려주는 것은 역시 페트렌코답다. 차이콥스키의 대표 오페라는 예브게니 오네긴보다 스페이드 여왕인 거 같다.
