EUGENE ONEGIN
If the thought of three hours of opera sung in Russian evokes wariness and uncertainty, then think again about Scottish Opera’s current revival of David Poutney's production of Tchaikovsky's Eugene Dnegin. First seen atthe Edinburgh Festival in 1979, this is one of the most powerful in the company's repertoire, especially when the cast is as strong as this time round. Some ot the sets may be unexciting, but musically Eugene Onegin, conducted by SirAlexanderGibson, is hard to fault. In the title role, Sergei Leilerkus (the Don in Scottish Opera’s Don Giovanni in 1985 and Escamillo in their 1986 Carmen) is predictably

A season of innovative ‘ superb as Dnegin. while the excellent contemporary composition l young Polish soprano Joanna l Kozlowska gives a telling characterisation of Tatyana. As Lensky, Onegin’s friend then enemy, tenor Anthony Roden is equally powerful. Potentially a source of much embarrassment all round, the chorus dancing, choreographed by Terry Gilbert, is one of the highlights of this production, along with some stunning chorus singing from the same forces. The story is fairly complex : it is well worth arriving in good time to read director Ceri Sherlock's clear programme synopsis in advance. (Carol Main)
