Houston Ballet presents the return of John Cranko’s Onegin. Based on Alexander Pushkin’s verse novel Eugene Onegin, it is a poignant and emotionally rich ballet. Set to a deeply expressive score by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, arranged by Kurt-Heinz Stolze, Onegin brings 19th-century Russia to vivid life as it explores the tale of love, rejection, and regret.
The plot follows Tatiana, a young country girl, who is introduced to Onegin, a worldly aristocrat bored with city life. She falls for him with innocent, unwavering devotion, but he sees only a naive girl lost in romantic fantasies. Years later, fate reunites them, and Onegin longs for the love he once rejected - only to face the tragic consequences of his choices.
