OPERAtion: What's My Why?

Eugene Onegin: Gossip, Horoscopes, and Social Expectations


Listen Later

Exploring the drama filled "Eugene Onegin" by Tchaikovsky, this episode we dive into the topics of love, boredom, and the fragile ego of a title character who causes chaos in the lives of others. Premiered in 1879, this opera remains strikingly relevant in today’s social media driven world, where a social circuit of expectation and gossip has been replaced by the need to present our “best selves” online.
