Eugene Onegin tells the tale of a selfish hero who lives to regret his rejection of a young woman’s love and his careless incitement of a fatal duel with his best friend. Encapsulating the fragile and turbulent emotions of youth, self-realisation and finally the yearning to go back and undo what cannot be undone, it’s an opera full of poignancy and sensitivity to the feelings of growing up and wrestling to understand your emotions. Each performance will be presented via Vue’s Sony Digital 4K projectors, delivering four times the megapixels of 2K and HD.

Dave Pearce, film programmer of Vue Entertainment, comments: “We are thrilled to be bringing more alternate content screenings to our cinemas across the UK. Over the year we’ll be screening a number of live performances by the Royal Opera House, Metropolitan Opera House and National Theatre, giving culture vultures and newcomers the chance to see famous classical productions, such as Eugene Onegin, without having travel to London or New York. “Our screens and audio-visual equipment bring out the best of each performance and go one better by providing shots of all the drama from several different angles, something you can’t get in the theatre. “Following the recent success of La Bohème, from the Royal Opera House, and Aida, from the Metropolitan Opera House, we’re sure that audiences will be just as excited to witness the emotional scenes of Eugene Onegin.” Tickets are now on sale at myvue.com/special-events/ opera-and-ballet.
