Libretto, organized by the composer himself , very carefully follows certain passages in the novel by Alexander Pushkin in verse, preserving most of his poetry.

Tricke's poems to Act 2, Scene 1, while Tchaikovsky himself arranged the text of Lensky's arioso in Act 1, Scene 1, and almost the entire aria of Prince Gremin in Act 3, Scene 1. Eugene Onegin is a well-known example of the lyrical opera to which Tchaikovsky added dramatic music.

The history of Alexander Pushkin's composition In May 1877, opera singer Elizaveta Lavrovskaya talked to Tchaikovsky about the creation of an opera based on the plot of Pushkin's poem novel by Evgeny Onegin. At first, this idea seemed wild to the composer, according to his memoirs. Tchaikovsky felt that the novel was not properly strong in the plot - dandy rejects the young girl of the country, she successfully grows into a worldly woman, he tries to seduce her, but it's too late. The strength of the novel lies in its development of character and social commentary, as well as in the beauty of its literary delivery. Shortly after a sleepless night, Tchaikovsky embraced the idea. He created the scripts one night before the music began. Tchaikovsky, with the insignificant participation of Konstantin Shilovsky, used original poems from Pushkin's novel and chose scenes related to the emotional world and fate of his characters, calling the opera lyrical scenes. Opera episodic; there is no continuous history, only selected highlights of Onegin's life. The composer finished the opera by January 1878. The story of Tchaikovsky's performance was worried whether the audience would accept his opera, which had no traditional scenes. He believed that his performance required maximum simplicity and sincerity. With that in mind, he trusted produced for students of the Moscow Conservatory.
