Please stop trying to make me look dumb in public - xoxo Eugene

dearest eugene,

no

with love, vasily <3

[ay-chuu]

Hello! I hope you are doing well and you are looking after yourself as much as you can.

I was wondering if I could do the match/ship event, if you can ofc, you don't have to and hopefully you won't pressure yourself to doing it either, if you don't have the time/energy to do it then that's perfectly understandable and you don't have to do it.

So my name is Azrael or you can call me Az.

I have blond, curly hair about medium length, I have blue-grey eyes which sometimes look green depending on the light setting (aperantly, I don't see how they look green), I'm white, Eastern European to be exact, I wear a lot of black and grey because I like the colours.

I'm an aquarius, intp. I also have asd (autism spectrum disorder), dyslexia and sometimes I have troubles with my mental health.

My three favourite hobbies are drawing, cooking/baking and crocheting although I also enjoy reading and writing.

The three things I hate the most are the sound of people eating, when people see me as less than I am (for instance thinking I don't know anything or treating me as a child etc.) And when people actively damage the earth/other peoples' mental/physical/social health / animals etc.

Favourite game: chess, checkers

Favourite movie: Perfect blue, The graduate, Pianist, the land.

Favourite music genre: soft rock, hip hop, classical, jazz, Polish rock, what ever Kilar has going on, Indie, Opera and many more.

Favourite musical artist: Kilar, Will Wood, Tom Lehrer, Engelbert Hamperdinck, Chopin, John lenon, Gilbert O'Sullivan, Frank Sinatra, Leonard Cohen, Kult, Republika, Perfect, Mozart, Phil Collins, Foreigner, Arthur Andrus, Dmitri Shostakovich and, again, many more.

Favourite artist: Carl Vihelm Holsøe, Claude Monet, Fyodor Petrovich Tolstoy, Fyodor Vasilyev, Nikolai Galakhov, Vasily Vereshscagin, Isaak Levitan, Yu Feian, Hu Yefo, Jakub Schikaneder, Luigi Loir, Ilya Repin, Edouard Leon Cortes, Abbott Fuller Graves, Eugene Petit, Abraham Pether, Albert Bierstadt, Margaretha Roosenbom, Salvator Rosa, Yu Zhizhen, Shen Zhou, Dong Yuan, Ni Zan, Li Cheng

And the fandom: bsd

Take care of yourself and don't forget to hydrate, have a nice day.

Hello honey, thank you so much for your wishes for myself, your understanding and your so kindly stating it! ( ◡́.◡̀)(^◡^ )

I match you with... (っ＾▿＾)💨

KUNIKIDA DOPPO!

VIRGO AND AQUARIUS ARE ONE OF THE MOST SENSITIVE COUPLES CHANGE MY MIND. Ahem, I think Kunikida would fall in love with you after playing a round of chess with you LOL! Because he's very attracted to intelligence and you have a pretty attractive one (; The beginning of your relationship was a bit awkward because you both found it awkward to be comfortable with someone else, but things definitely got sweeter as time went by. INTP and ISTJ are a pretty harmonious couple, they're really diplomatic. By the way he's so in love with your eyes <3 -like me-

I definitely see Kunikida as someone who donates to people with disabilities or health problems and tries to help, even if he's emotionally naive. (": That's why he's pretty good with your health problems, always supports you, and if you ever feel bad or depressed about any trait you have, he will always be there to remind and support how wonderful you are by your side. He's the perfect husband material.

You love that his feelings are extremely pure and sincere. He never sees you down on himself/anyone alse, on the contrary, he always makes you feel like best creature even if it is wrong. He loves that you are quiet and intelligent, but also compassionate and understanding. You look like an old married couple to a lot of people LMAO IKSDFLADHLLFSDKH Ahh he's so goofy, I love him <3

All in all, he's pretty happy with you! Here are some of the memories I dream of for you: Helping children together who are having difficulties, chess tournaments that are played sometimes until the morning and always involve giggling, dinner prepared while listening to a playlist that goes from soft rock to hard rock, and finally, the afternoon's you do business side by side with your non-dominant hands clasping each other. <3

Hope you'll like it! <3

📸 — photos that vasily has taken of eugene fitzherbert  ( @w4ntd )

[dreamwaited]

𝙼𝙸𝚂𝚃𝙻𝙴𝚃𝙾𝙴  ⚔️    ❝ 🌿 ❞    

HE COULD HAVE SAID NO. saints know that he’d been given plenty of opportunities to back down. though if anything that only caused eugene to dig his heels further into his stubbornness and repeat back that he was fine and he wanted to go. but now that he was here? that was a different story. it was one thing to be in love with a vampire… and an entirely different thing to be surrounded by them. he feared that if left alone for even a second, he’d be used as a meal despite thankfully being dressed nothing like the… servers

and it would be a stretch to say eugene trusts vasily’s brother. but standing with nikolai and making awkward small talk seemed like a much better idea than trying to get vasily to talk his parents into letting eugene join the private conversation. plus apparently they could bond over trashing said parents together. he’s thankful for a lifetime of intense training. despite being on edge he manages to not jump up into the air as he feels someone tap on his shoulder.

he should have known it would be vasily. though what he wasn’t expecting was the bundle of greenery held up by the shorter man. a proud smile clear on the other’s face that caused eugene to slowly shake his head fondly. ❝ you’re lucky you’re cute, ❞ he says as he takes a step closer to his boyfriend. ❝ even though I’m almost positive this public display of affection is more to piss your father off than it is for me, ❞ he accuses him as he taps the other’s nose. his eyes trail down to his lips as he wraps an arm around him, pulling him closer. ❝ but who am I to say no to a kiss? ❞ he mutters softly just before pressing his lips against vasily’s

Part two - Don't let the stars get in your eyes!

Featuring discussions of Romany/Travelers and their grishaverse versions, Eugenics (both characters oppose it), History and politics. Tws for period correct usage of what is now called autism. Self-internalized albleism mention also, as well as mentions of institutes. Tagging: @lordbettany, @corpsebasil

The best cutie boy!

The cold seeped into Cecily's chambers like CO2 poisoning. She sat swaddled in furs and blankets all while a fire roared in the hearth at her feet, but even that wasn't enough. She was used to the damp, yes. English homes were notoriously damp. But the chilling cold of eastern winters Ravka and Russia suffered from were an altogether different beast. Training in the Little Palace had been grueling and unrewarding. While Cecily had learned to fight in secret with communist squad-blocks in London's east End - a place where Princesses never went, Cecily did. Not because she wasn't like other princesses of her class, but because her tutors actively encouraged her to. They understood that she as a princess needed to be trained to fend off any attacker, whether they be a suitor or a minister. The price of her frail, feminine body, would always be at the hands of men for whom society refused to punish for their wandering eyes.

So, she'd done as much as Nikolai had done with Dominik - learned to fight the way peasant kids did, except her playmates were the sons and daughters of factory workers, lesser servants, immigrants from all over the Empire and the wider world. Of course, there was a lot of time that was spent breaking up fights over politics and the tenets of colonialism that seeped in through the cracks no matter class or creed.

It had been there that Cecily had gotten her nose broken for the first time. She'd been shoved down and held down, and forced her way back up. But the Little Palace's Grisha didn't fight dirty. There was an art to their movements, which Botkin trained them in. His broken Ravkan was more for show than anything, which once Cecily noted that, respected him much more. She admired the idea of subverting dominant stereotypes.

Now, as she sat there in her solar, pen between her teeth, light sparked between her clenched hands. It quickly flared out, and she dropped her head to her knees, sighing deeply. She'd been able to summon that blast-wave on the skiff through the Fold, then again the beam-burst when Vasily had tried to kiss her - the creep! She'd nearly blinded him, and cursed herself every day for not doing it fully. But Queen Tatiana's hoarse cries of Cecily being an abomination were sorely noted. She'd fled the ballroom, and come... here.

Her office. Her house of power. She'd attempted to answer some correspondence, looked over the pamphlets from the British Union of Fascists her spies in the palace had sent. Yet, nothing got done. Sighing, Cecily pressed her head back against the ottoman she was seated against, and chewed at the pen's tip.

"You'll ruin my pristine work, darling."

Cecily's head whipped toward the door and she saw Nikolai silhouetted in the entry, his gold hair the color of a summer sunset. The firelight softened his sharp lines and made the medals pinned to his uniform to be a molten gold.

"Come to take me back into that cage?" She growled, wanting to launch another beam-blast at her husband. They'd been married a week back, and now.... She felt only hatred towards him. He was loving, charming. Perfect. But she felt alienated even from him. Her powers had drawn up a glass box in which she was stuck inside, and everyone else goggled at her. COME SEE THE ENGLISH FREAK - SUMMONER OF SUNLIGHT AND SAINTS KNOWS WHAT ELSE! ALL FOR A BOB!

Shaking her head, Cecily groaned again. It was no good putting herself in the shoes of the travelers of the British Isles and Romany or those sideshow attractions that graced Brighton pier and brought gawking crowds to see the wonders of the Empire. It'd been happening for centuries, to support ideals of how one group was better than another. Simple human nature. And now nature involved summoning the bloody sun. She was a weapon of war, not political change.

"No, actually. I was worried about you." Nikolai shifted, his hand on the door-handle. Cecily dipped her head back, and sighed again. Waving her hand, she let him enter. "Does Ravka have a Romany population?"

"What?" Nikolai blinked, confusion furrowing his brows. He gripped his glass of pilfered brandy more tightly as his heeled dancing slippers clicked their way across the wooden floor. The slippers soon sank into the plush rugs scattered around her room, and Nikolai settled himself down beside her. "Well, do they?"

"There's the Suli." Nikolai took a sip of his brandy and grimaced, grumbling, "What is this дерьмо that Vasily says is Kerchian brandy?"

"Nikolai."

Sighing, Nikolai got up once more and examined her oaken and silver lacquered liquor cabinet. Upon finding the good Kerch brandy she'd kept stocked for herself when the goings got rough, Nikolai poured them both two snifters full and came back. "I've seen them, well..." Cecily gnawed her lip. "How the Ravkans see them."

"Fortune tellers." Nikolai scoffed. "There's some Suli in my crew, on the Volkvolny's sister ship, the Malenchlisa, who're part of the major operations on patrolling for slaver ships." "Don't most Suli traveling families end up in that horrific state?"

"Often." Nikolai sniffed. "Most of the time, the Tsar and court turn a blind eye. Since they're not seen as fully Ravkan-" He sighed at her dark glare. "-Don't question me on the morals of who is and isn't Ravkan - that's an anthropologist's job."

"Reeks of Eugenics," Cecily replied, flexing her hands. A ball of light pulsed between her palms, then sputtered out. "Dammit." She grumbled.

"Summoning going awry?" Nikolai noted her untouched snifter and sipped it. "Something's..." He reached to grip her hand, his fingers curling down to her wrist. Surprisingly, she didn't yank her hand back. Normally she hated being touched - but with Nikolai, she craved it. He held her in a way that made her feel safe.

"Did you know Eugenics as an idea has been around since Ancient Greece? It's only really gained ground in the latter century. Mind you, the latter half." Cecily shook her hands out and cast another ball of light. "And its regardless of political spectrum as well." She shook her head. "I-" Breaking off, she looked down at her hands. The hands that had held a brush and book steady since before she could walk. The hands that were able to piece together telephone parts. The hands that could summon light.

The hands that her doctors had said were the signs of her feminine frailness, and her...

You can't tell him. He won't understand!

But what if he does?

"What?" Nikolai murmured, tracing her thumb over her pulse point. "You're as white as a sheet."

"it's nothing." Cecily wanted to shoot to her feet, to run from the room. Whipping off her glasses, she pressed her palms to her eyes and sighed deeply. Remaining here, was good. Remaining in the present was the best possible option for her.

"Cecily." Nikolai murmured again, lifting her face by her chin to stare into her eyes. The firelight made sapphires of his baby-blue eyes, and she gasped instinctively.

"You shouldn't shut me out, love. What's yours is mine. Tell me, or don't. This is supposed to be a partnership, and yet you shut yourself away from me. I don't want to be your enemy, lapushka. Please, let me in."

"I-I'm..." Cecily's eyes pooled with tears and she buried her face in her knees. The silk of her scarlet evening gown was scratchy against her face, and she lifted her head rapidly to no longer feel the awful texture under her hands.

"I have what doctors call autism, but medical journals refer to it as Childhood Schizophrenia. The things..." She rubbed her hand over her cheeks, and sniffled. "The things they say..."

"Are awful." Nikolai interlaced his fingers with hers. He rubbed her palm with his thumb, and a ball of light bloomed there. Cecily blinked and held her breath.

"I've read those reports. Ravkan doctors have access to the works of both Hans Asperger and Grunya Sukhareva. What they suggest..." He shook his head again. "Is that why your father sent you here?"

"I asked to come here. He was suggesting..." She shook her head again. Panic bottled up in her throat and she whimpered, rocking back and forth on the balls of her feet. Nikolai moved to hold her, yet not restrain her. His hands were clasped on her shoulders, but not tightly enough to dig into her flesh.

"Take your time." He gently rubbed his thumbs over the expanse of bare skin her sleeveless gown offered, and Cecily shuddered as tears poured down her face.

"He wanted to have me put into an institute to deal with my problems. The doctors had done enough, but the fact I was still indulging in my baser behaviors made me a continuously poorer and poorer marriage option. Thank the Saints my father forgot about the Ravkan contract, because when I showed it to him, he thought it was something new. He had me leaving for Dover the next morning."

"From which you took the channel train, another four trains and finally a sand skiff to get here." Nikolai smiled that crooked smile of his, and Cecily almost wept at the love in his eyes. She wiped at her eyes with her palms and sniffled. "I see you've not run for the hills."

"Not planning on it, lovely. Unless Priyvet needs me,"

He earned a hard whack on his arm for that insolence, and Cecily burst into joyous, if somewhat gentle, giggles. She opened her hands again and light this time burst forth in a bright glow that rivaled the fireplace's heat and warmth.

"Ah, there she is." Nikolai grinned, and kissed her cheek. He nestled close to her and laid his chin on her shoulder as they watched the light in her palm grow and shrink. His hand over it changed the flame's colors to a mesmerizing teal. However, unlike Vasily, it didn't burn Nikolai's palms. He gave a yelp of childish joy when she and him ended up attempting to play catch with the highly violitle projectiles, and she wound up breaking a mirror and a few pieces of Shu han pottery.

What that night, long after its finishing, brought Cecily was indescribable. She'd almost lost her husband that night, but in being truly herself, they'd found one another. Truly found one another. The lesser matter of her Sun Summoning was relied to the Darkling the following morning, when the light in Cecily's hands finally dimmed with Nikolai's departure to the Ravkan War council.

Finis.

Oooh I’d love an arranged marriage au where the reader hasn’t been married by any other foreign princes (she’s a princess on her grand tour) and she comes to ravka jaded and bitter. (This can be set during the original trilogy in a version where the sun summoner has never come back). She meets Nikolai at a ball during siege and storm and the two of them go from enemies to lovers…. 👀. Along the way it could turn out that she’s the sun summoner but because of her severely internalized trauma, she *cant* show her powers.

Ooooooh Pookie

^^ sorry but this man is so Nikolai coded it’s insane . No offense Patrick Gibson but these blond men are starting to get to me

This one’s gonna be short but I want to get to the point, sorry. Your backstory was good just pretend mine fits. LOL

Warnings: none just fluff

Months on tour. Months. That’s how long you’ve been gallivanting around the continent in search of a future King consort. The only option, it seems, to your chagrin, is the wild, witty, and annoyingly gorgeous Prince Nikolai.

“Come running back?” He asks nonchalantly one evening after he casually burst into your chambers like he owns the place. Your eye twitches from where youre sitting at your vanity, the blond collapsing dramatically on top of your bed. “Miss me too much? I missed you, too.”

“Please keep your shoes off the bed.” You snap, applying moisturizer with violence as he toes off one shoe, then the other, and props his chin on his hands, kicking his feet in the air like a child. “Don’t you have anyone else to bother?”

“Sure, but you’re the most fun.”

“Saints, save me.”

“No Saints here, love. Just me.”

When you turn and throw a makeup brush at his head he dodges, grinning like a fiend as you roll your eyes.

You’ve known Nikolai for years. Since you were children he taunted and teased you, pulling on your pigtails and stealing the last bites of your desserts. Now though, he seems different. Sure he’s still annoying but, after forcing yourself to deal with him courting you, you noticed the changes.

Instead of pulling on your hair, he holds your hands when helping you out of carriages, off horses, and up or down any flights of stairs. He keeps a hand on the small of your back when you move through crowds, his witty remarks kept low so only you can hear them. Instead of stealing your desserts he saves you the last bite, casually sliding his plate an inch or so towards you without even glancing over.

He plays with your hair during meals or boring meetings, wrapping a strand around his finger and tugging twice, gently, as if a signal that he’s thinking of you, that he’s by your side, that he takes this tour seriously.

“Can we end the theatrics and admit you like me?” He asks from the bed, stretching out like a lazy housecat as he watches you finish up your skincare and stand. His serene smile grows as you approach, planting your hands on the bed to peer down over him.

“I do not like you.” You say sweetly, then gasp when he hooks an arm around your waist and tugs you down next to him, practically nose to nose.

“Stop lying.” He groans, amused when you wiggle and squirm (you’re barely trying to escape) before you finally let out a huff and collapse, head propped on his bicep when he tugs you closer. His blue eyes are glittering with something like adoration when he pokes your cheek, marveling at the smoothness. “You look like a snail ran all over your face.”

“How sweet of you.” You scoff, poking his cheek in return. “Your skin is dry. Who’s taking care of you?”

“Hopefully you.” At your raised brow he grins again, rolling you on top of him so he’s lying beneath you, gazing up. Shockingly enough, though his grip has loosened, you don’t move away. “Come on, Y/N. We both know you’ll be happy with me. I make you laugh.”

“You give me stomach pains.”

“That’s love.”

“It might be a tape worm.”

“Y/N.” He sighs and pulls you closer, one hand reaching up to cup your cheek. “This is no way to treat your future King.”

“Consort. King Consort.”

“So you agree.”

“Nik—”

“Hmm?” He lifts his head a fraction of an inch, touching the tip of his nose to yours. When your breath hitches, he smiles. “There she is..” he murmurs, satisfied, and pulls your mouth down to his.

You melt into the kiss.

He’s mine mine MINE

@w4ntd : 🎶 to serenade my muse v-day memes. || accepting!

he had had a little ( lot ) too much to drink, which was the only reason he had the bright idea that he could actually sing. he couldn't. but that didn't stop him from turning up the for background music. he grabs a fork, holding it like a microphone as he turns into eugene. " des yeux qui font baisser les miens, " he starts, proud of himself for remembering, not only the lyrics but the french. he continues singing, slipping in and out of the french lyrics into something in between french and english.

" Он вошел в мое сердце. " caught up in his singing, he doesn't even realize he's switched back to his native russian. he's swaying softly, as his eyes shut, arms wrapped around himself. it doesn't translate perfect but vasily is too drunk to notice or care. he's lost in the lyrics, almost singing to himself now. thoughts of eugene, of their life together flashing through his head. " Проблемы, душевные боли исчезают. "

unfortunately for him, vasily was so caught up in his thoughts, he failed to notice the dog toy on the floor, resulting in him slipping right into eugene's lap. he curses under his breath, hiding his redden cheeks in the crook of his boyfriend's neck. it takes him a minute to recover but he doesn't move, twisting to look up at him. " it’s you for me, me for you in life. you said that to me, swore it for life. and as soon as i see you, i feel in me, my heart that pounds. " he speaks the rest of the song against him, as if it was vasily saying them to eugene.

[lantsovheir]

he glances at eugene with a confused look, wondering if he suddenly forgot who they both were. ❝ because, my darling, you get cold easily and you don't like the cold. and i don't get cold as easily, nor does it bother me. ❞ with a sigh, vasily grabs his jacket for him, holding it out for him. he loves eugene but sometimes his stubbornness will be the death of him. ❝ you're bringing this. i'd rather not listen to you complain about the cold. ❞ he taps his nose lightly. ❝ and you will complain about it. i've been with you long enough to know you by now. ❞

𝙰𝚄𝚃𝚄𝙼𝙽 𝙼𝙴𝙼𝙴  ⚔️    ❝ bring a jacket! ❞    

AT FIRST HE REACHES FOR HIS JACKET. eugene hadn’t checked the weather, so being told to grab one causes the knee jerk reaction to go and get one. his hand stills when he looks over at vasily and see despite the other’s words. he wasn’t wearing a jacket himself. this causes eugene to drop his hand in protest and his nose scrunches up in annoyance. ❝ why do I need a jacket? you’re not wearing one. ❞

The worst Onegin I’ve ever seen

The Royal Swedish Opera, 2018. Director: Vasily Barkhatov

The picture above is the poster photo for the production. It shows what would happen if I ever meet the director responsible for it.

That’s also the duel.

Yes.

THE DUEL WAS A FISTFIGHT.

How did Lensky die, you ask? Oh, Eugene punched him and Lensky fell on top of a pile of logs (which luckily for the tenor were made of pillows) and died. And after the most emotionally devastating lines in the opera (”Is he dead?” “He’s dead”) the audience GIGGLED.

Mr. Director, sir, THAT’S NOT THE REACTION THE DUEL SCENE IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE. Sir, YOU MADE THE AUDIENCE LAUGH AT LENSKY’S DEATH! Sir, please tell me that wasn’t the reaction you were aiming for! Sir!!

I often say that Eugene Onegin is a comedy BUT THIS IS NOT WHAT I MEANT. 

Look, I found a picture! *screams* I hate this so so much!

(Also that man in the pink dress and top hat is Triquet. Yes, they turned him into a man-in-a-dress joke... Bad.)

Act 3 was terrible too! I couldn’t find a picture of the set, so her’s a blurry screenshot from the trailer (the text says “indescribably sad” which YES that’s exactly how I feel about this!)

What’s happening in act 3, you wonder? Oh, it’s just the Gremins having a reception AT A TRAIN STATION. What??? Who on EARTH would host a reception at a train station? With random people walking about - well, they’ve closed off the area with a rope but still?? Wth??? And yes, one of the random people walking past the reception was our dear Eugene, who spotted Tatiana there.

I mean, a train station works well as a metaphor, y’know, as a symbol for Change and whatnot, except it felt more like a eyesore and/or punch in the face than a storytelling device. URGH.

And the final scene: the party has cleared out, and only Eugene and Tatiana was on stage. Tatiana had a suitcase, she was on her way to presumably catch a train with Gremin or whatever, and Eugene was begging her to stay. They eventually ended up fighting over the suitcase?? While singing about their pain and feelings?? To me, Tatiana didn’t feel conflicted at all about rejecting Eugene, which goes against what the music is telling us.

In general, I’m not against transforming an opera into a new setting. However these types of productions often seem to make something new just for the sake of novelty. This was definitely the case - this made a mess of Onegin instead of retelling the story. I remember I actually liked the first act, though unfortunately the memory is overshadowed by how much I hated the second and third acts. The setting had the vibes of the 20s or 30s, which we all know from Russian history was Not A Good Time for the aristocracy. Onegin is very much a story about the aristocracy (which is one of the reasons why it’s very difficult to move it into more modern times, where the aristocracy isn’t the same class as it was in the 19th century). And so, this setting could have worked: the Larins’ house had signs of past glamour, but now was laid bare, and the Larin women were trying to adjust to this new life. “Habit is given to us from above in place of happiness” - they would get used to that, eventually. The idealist Lensky fits here well, too: he’s a poet striving for a beautiful ideal that no longer exists. The dialogue between past and present is a theme I’ve seen in other productions of Onegin as well, because it does work really well with the story. 

This production, however, fell apart at the duel. It’s a pivotal point at the story - even if the main conflict is between Eugene and Tatiana, Lensky’s death is vital in defining Eugene’s arc, and if it’s done wrong, it messes everything up. It’s a completely different thing if Eugene killed Lensky intentionally, in cold blood, than if it was an accident. The duel is another key factor why it’s difficult to move Onegin from its original setting: there just isn’t any modern equivalent of duels, that have so clear-cut deadly and predetermined consequences. Boys still fight over girls, of course, but they can no longer challenge their rivals to a duel. If they did, they’d appear comical, and the rival wouldn’t lose any honor in declining. If the director’s intention was to make Lensky appear laughable, he very much succeeded. It’s another theme I’ve seen before: Lensky’s dreamy idealism is silly in the cold real world, reality has no place for poetry or beauty. However, Tchaikovsky’s music demands us to take Lensky seriously, and accept his pain as genuine. I can see where the director was coming from, but that’s not what Tchaikovsky wrote the music for. The contrast of the audience giggling & Tchaikovsky’s sorrowful notes was jarring. Again, if that was the intended effect, it’s brilliantly executed (I still hate it, though). Same thing with the third act: Eugene appeared as a pathetic loser begging for Tatiana’s love, which could have worked, were it not for the music. The stage and the music were telling different stories. Now that I’m thinking about it, I start to suspect that was intentional too, which would turn the entire production from an objectively terrible mess into something I just personally hate. (When I write a review I always try to separate my personal preferences from objective truth, but we all know it’s a difficult task).

There is no correct way to make an adaptation of Pushkin’s Onegin. The themes of the novel are eternal and universal - you can present them in a myriad of different ways and make it work. However, if you make an adaptation of Tchaikovky’s Onegin, you need to match the emotions in the music. Tchaikovsky interpreted the story in a certain way, and even if music alone isn’t as strict as stage direction, it still contains emotions you can’t separate from it. And when your story doesn’t fit the music, the entire play falls apart.

Maybe that’s why I hated this so much - it could have worked, but the director’s story was in conflict with Tchaikovsky’s music. The setting makes sense with the story, but not with the music. It could have been a brilliant play... It could, it could, it could...

But instead, we got this.
