Opera Bohemia, Douglas Nairne, Catriona Clark

Scotland’s Opera Bohemia returns to Linlithgow with the world’s favourite Russian opera, Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin. Douglas Nairne and Catriona Clark lead a star cast of young professional singers.

Tchaikovsky’s magical score is full of memorable melodies and haunting themes. The opera, based on Pushkin’s famous novel, tells the story of a wealthy young man who lives to regret his nonchalant dismissal of a young woman’s love. John Wilkie’s imaginative production sets the action in the time of the Russian Revolution.

Sung in Russian with English surtitles, and with piano and violin accompaniment, this promises to be a great night out for opera lovers and newcomers alike.
