There’s no denying that the work of Boris Eifman is super-dramatic, erotic, engrossing, beautifully lit and visually commanding, and that he has a troupe of magnificent dancers. But, whereas his first London production Anna Karenina proved near faithful to the Tolstoy novel, his second ballet Onegin that was seen this week in London, took great liberties with its text.
