A beautiful performance of the heroine Tatiana's adolescent love
for Oneguine which remains unrequited was sung to airs composed
by Tchaikovsky in Geneva. It is a moral tale of honesty and integrity
in which the heroine repudiates Oneguine's love when he comes back
to her after she marries. It is also a very detailed description of life
in 19th century upper-class rural Russia based on agricultural rhythms,
family life, and interpersonal relations.
