The heartbreaking ballet Onegin

ABOUT THE BALLET
The ballet, which is based on the verse-novel of the same name by Alexander Pushkin from 1833, is situated in Russia in 1820. The aristocrat Onegin rejects the young, infatuated Tatiana and flirts with her sister Olga, although she is already engaged to his friend Lensky. This leads to a duel between Onegin and Lensky, and the latter pays with his life. At a ball years later, Onegin bumps into Tatiana, who is now married, and falls in love with her. He begs her forgiveness, but Tatiana rejects him. They are both doomed to lead unhappy lives.

Esto es maravilloso. Esa bailarina mueve las manos y se deja caer como nadie.
Todos son muy buenos, pero ella es exquisita.

May I inquire of the choreographer?  This looks to be Macmillan's version.  The costumes are dream like and the production values, as we have come to expect from the DNO, are the very highest.  The dancers are wonderful and there can be no question... this is a world class company.  (And I do know what I am talking about.  I taught NDT in Den Haag as well as the National Ballet of Canada.  You recently lost a fine ballerina to Karen Kain at the NBC.  Both are excellent companies.
