5 out of 5 stars Stunning Performances by the principals.   January 3, 2008
Hazel Smith (Sudbury, Ontario, Canada)
9 out of 9 found this review helpful

I saw the HD presentation in 2007 and was so impressed that I went back for the encore two weeks later. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that the Met would get a dvd of the production out so fast. I pre-ordered 2 copies the minute it was advertised. I am a devoted fan of Renee Fleming and she didn't disappoint; nor did Dmitri Hvorostovsky. Ramon Vargas was in excellent voice. The setting(for me) emphacized the isolation of the Russian steppe-vast landscape with few people. The ballroom scenes, with chairs hemming everyone in, seemed to symbolize the constrictions of conventional society. I know some people objected to the minimalist nature of the sets, but they worked for me and underlined some important facets of the opera. Aside from the glorious singing and acting, I loved watching Valery Gergiev conduct. The bonus features backstage were great. Thanks to Robert Carsen for another fabulous production. I've watched my dvd twice already. I just can't get enough of the "letter scene", the "polonaise", or the final duet. Enjoy!!!!!


5 out of 5 stars Excellent Cast   January 1, 2008

Can't find a more befitting Eugene Onegin in Hvorostovsky- so aloof, ruthless and yet so lovable and pitiful at the end. I am normally not a big fan of Renee Fleming, but this role brought out the best of her. The creaminess, sweetness and vulnerability of her voice makes such a good portriat of Tatiana.

One small note, when I first saw the clips on YouTube, I thought the minimalist staging is rather stupid, but I came to enjoy it after watching the opera in whole.

Throughly enjoyed it!
