  • The Transformation of Pushkin's Eugene Onegin Into Tchaikovsky's Opera
    THE TRANSFORMATION OF PUSHKIN'S EUGENE ONEGIN INTO TCHAIKOVSKY'S OPERA Molly C. Doran A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2012 Committee: Eftychia Papanikolaou, Advisor Megan Rancier © 2012 Molly Doran All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Eftychia Papanikolaou, Advisor Since receiving its first performance in 1879, Pyotr Il’yich Tchaikovsky’s fifth opera, Eugene Onegin (1877-1878), has garnered much attention from both music scholars and prominent figures in Russian literature. Despite its largely enthusiastic reception in musical circles, it almost immediately became the target of negative criticism by Russian authors who viewed the opera as a trivial and overly romanticized embarrassment to Pushkin’s novel. Criticism of the opera often revolves around the fact that the novel’s most significant feature—its self-conscious narrator—does not exist in the opera, thus completely changing one of the story’s defining attributes. Scholarship in defense of the opera began to appear in abundance during the 1990s with the work of Alexander Poznansky, Caryl Emerson, Byron Nelson, and Richard Taruskin. These authors have all sought to demonstrate that the opera stands as more than a work of overly personalized emotionalism. In my thesis I review the relationship between the novel and the opera in greater depth by explaining what distinguishes the two works from each other, but also by looking further into the argument that Tchaikovsky’s music represents the novel well by cleverly incorporating ironic elements as a means of capturing the literary narrator’s sardonic voice.

  • Ms. Kain's Full Message
    AGM Message Karen Kain, Artistic Director When we reflect on the 2019/20 season, what inevitably comes to mind are the significant, ongoing challenges brought on by the pandemic. But nothing can diminish what The National Ballet of Canada achieved, both onstage and off, leading up to that unforgettable moment in March when our theatres closed. The performances of our 2019/20 season were some of the finest and most memorable of my career as Artistic Director. Knowing that so many of you – our donors and audiences – felt equally moved and inspired is the ultimate reward. The season opened with Giselle, where many of our principal ballerinas gave exceptional performances in the title role. There were two mixed programmes in the Fall Season that showcased the diversity of our artists. The company performed Choreographic Associate Robert Binet’s world premiere of Orpheus Alive, with a new score commissioned from Missy Mazzoli. This work shared an evening with Balanchine’s Chaconne. The second mixed programme featured Harald Lander’s homage to classical ballet training, Etudes, Jiří Kylián’s exceptional Petite Mort and Alexei Ratmansky’s Piano Concerto #1. 2019 concluded with our annual performances of James Kudelka’s The Nutcracker. In January, with very little time to prepare, the company travelled to the Kennedy Centre in Washington, D.C. where we performed a mixed programme of William Forsythe’s The Vertiginous Thrill of Exactitude and Approximate Sonata 2016 with Piano Concerto #1 and Petite Mort. The company also performed The Sleeping Beauty to rave reviews from critics and standing ovations from audiences.
