Artiste: Yuriy Yurchuk

Stylish Beethoven from Benjamin Grosvenor and dramatic Ustvolskaya from Yuriy Yurchuk, but Petrenko and the RPO’s blistering Shostakovich steals the show.

Director Cameron Menzies offers a fresh perspective on Tchaikovsky's masterpiece Eugene Onegin in this Northern Ireland Opera production. 

Tchaikovsky's final opera and ballet were always intended to be paired; at the Royal Albert Hall Petrenko and the RPO present them together in a rewarding double-bill, marred by microphones.
