Eugene Onegin Reviewed in the Financial Times

Martin Bernheimer gave the current Met production of Eugene Onegin a rather lukewarm review in the February 2 edition of the Financial Times.

Bernheimer said that conductor Jirí Belohlávek, "inspired rich sonorities in the pit and maintained broad tempos without dissipating tension. He sympathetically supported an uneven cast. Unfortunately, he sometimes muted Tchaikovsky’s brooding agonies and throbbing ecstasies."
