The music of Tchaikovsky brings Pushkin's legendary melancholic to life once again, this time as a ballet by choreographer John Cranko. Much too late to avoid paying the price for stifled and destroyed human lives, Onegin realises that love can awaken the soul and give meaning to life. Tatiana's waves of passion and suffering ultimately block a path to redemption littered with ripped-up love letters.
