About this listen

This week Kat and Hermione discuss the ballet 'Onegin', choreogrpahed by John Cranko which first premiered in 1965 based on the Pushkin Novel in Verse which was first published in 1825. 2025 is therefore the 200th anniversary of the book's publication and 50th anniversary of the ballet first performance- a big year for Eugene Onegin!


We're talking about everything in this episode:

- The story of Eugene Onegin and the ballet (they're a bit different)

- Pushkin's life and death (it's a wild story)

- The fantastic Tchaikovksy music of the ballet

- Brief thoughts on Cinderella
