Mrs. Rostropovich restages Pushkin’s masterpiece

Opera legend Galina Vishnevskaya has passed her vast experience onto the younger generation by staging the “Eugene Onegin” at her Opera Centre.

Originally, when Pyotr Tchaikovsky wrote the opera based on Aleksandr Pushkin’s novel in rhyme, he decided to offer parts to the younger generation of singers.

Now Vishnevskaya, the widow of world-famous cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, is doing the same.
