I am listening to Eugene Onegin by Tchaikovsky. Its based on a story by Akexander Pushkin. This is perhaps Tchaikovsky‘s most famous opera and it is more of a lyric opera. The libretto in the opera is close to Pushkin’s story.Its somewhat of a tragic story with an opera centered around charater which rejects a young country woman’s(Tatyana) love.
