John Cranko’s Onegin

With his full-length ballet Onegin, John Cranko secured his place in the pantheon of great 20th century choreographers. Based on Alexander Pushkin’s dramatic verse novel „Eugen Onegin“, he tells the story of the arrogant and world weary aristocrat Onegin who rejects the love of the naïve country girl Tatiana only to realize – upon meeting her again years later – that in her he threw away the only woman who ever truly loved him. On the occasion of its 50th anniversary the Stuttgarter Ballett has come up with a special cast featuring Alicia Amatriain as Tatjana, Friedemann Vogel as Onegin, Elisa Badenes as Olga, David Moore as Lenski, Jason Reilly as Prince Gremin, Melinda Witham as Madame Larina and no other than the wonderful Marcia Haydée as nurse.

I just ordered DVD, glad  found it. Love Oniegin story of Pushkin and love Tchaikovsky's music and Cranko's choreography is the best. I don't like the modernized versions. PS.  I love my DVD.. recording is perfect, nice clarity focus, lots of close-ups so I can see all facial expressions, nice booklet with all the information and a second, bonus DVD that is  almost 2 hours. I also have one from Bolshoi with Smirnova and Lantratov and recording is sloppy, blurry, no focus, looks like recorded from a mile away, no close-ups and it's impossible to see the faces and expressions. No booklet or information of any kind.

BytomGirl The recording with the Bolshoi that you have with Lantratov and Smirnova.Did you by any chance purchase that one with Classical HD Collection?

Why does Onegin look like a mixture between Zac Efron and Hugh Jackman???!
