Eugene Onegin: Short Synopsis
Tatyana, the daughter of a country-landed noble, loves to read books. Her sister’s fiancé Lensky brings his friend Onegin to Tatyana’s house. Tatyana falls in love with Onegin at first sight. In the middle of the night, she writes a love letter. She gives him the letter, but Onegin’s reply is cold.
People gather for a ball to celebrate Tatyana. Onegin and Lensky quarrel over a trivial matter. They end up dueling, and Lensky dies. Onegin sets off on a wandering journey. After Onegin leaves, Tatyana marries Prince Gremin.
Onegin returns from his wanderings. At a ball, Onegin falls in love with Tatyana, who behaves elegantly. Tatyana admits her love for Onegin but returns to her husband.
