The Czech National Ballet has linked up to the tradition of staging full-length ballets by the globally celebrated choreographer John Cranko. Onegin is one of his best creations. Based on A. S. Pushkin’s well-known novel in verse, the ballet follows the story of a world-weary Russian aristocrat, who spurns the love of the young, earnest Tatyana, giving preference instead to flirting with her sister. A few years later, Onegin changes his mind and becomes obsessed with winning Tatyana’s affection, yet it is too late.

Length: 130 min
