Editorial Review:
Description:
Recorded at the 2007 Salzburg Festival, this production of Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin features an excellent, young cast and the Vienna Philharmonic conducted by maestro Daniel Barenboim. Director Andrea Breth has created an intimate production that mines the depths of expression and charisma of her singer-actors and integrates silent secondary episodes and miniature dramas to heighten the intensity of the story. The title role--a tour de force for any baritone--is taken by Peter Mattei, who starred as Figaro in the Metropolitan Opera's HD Live Broadcast of Il Barbiere di Siviglia. He is joined by dazzling young Russian soprano Anna Samuil, a protégée of Daniel Barenboim who has been acclaimed as a vibrant new presence on the opera stage. The opera includes a wonderful performance from the young tenor, Joseph Kaiser, recently acclaimed for perfomances at The Met opposite Anna Netrebko in Roméo et Juliette, as well as a solid contribution from bass Ferruccio Furlanetto. The DVD has been filmed in HD, with 5.1 DTS surround sound and PCM stereo.

The singing here is really wonderful. Peter Mattei as Onegin, Joseph Kaiser as Lensky, Anna Samuil as Tatyana, and Ferrucio Furlanetto as Prince Gremin, each deserve five stars. But everything else is just wrong, wrong, wrong!!!
Andrea Breth's idea of this opera warped into the current era must have Tchaikovsky and Pushkin rolling in their graves. From the first scene to the last, Breth has transformed dignified, lovable people like Larina, Filipyevna, Olga and Tatyana into bored, ... Read More

I think that the Met DVD of this opera is slightly overrated and this Salzburg production is underrated. Neither one of the two is an exemplar of orchestral precision, and neither one of them has an entirely convincing production, but the Salzburg version at least has a young cast going for it. The singing is exceptional, and all three main singers are very good actors and look their parts. It helps that they are not several times as old as the characters they play, which is a problem in the Met ... Read More

I bought this review on the basis of my admiration for Peter Mattei whose voice and looks are an asset to any opera. His singing here is indeed beautiful. But the production is so at odds with the spirit of Pushkin and Tchaikovsky that it is hard to stomach.
Onegin is essence of the Russian soul and this production completely negates that. Musically strong, theatrically a disaster.

Last year it seemed absolutely everyone at Salzburg clamored about director Andrea Breth's monumental updated production of "Eugene Onegin" and indeed, it was one of the most reviewed performances I've ever seen - I read over 30 reviews of the opening night - and nearly every single one seemed to be outdoing the other in heaping superlatives. I saw clips of it and found it moving, and now have watched the entire thing on DVD, twice. Musically, I find it thrilling and eye opening, but dramatically ... Read More
