Opera Santa Barbara’s ‘Eugene Onegin’: Your quarantine must-watch of the day
An arrogant Russian aristocrat visits a country estate, breaks a young girl’s heart, ruins a party, fights a duel and — spoiler alert — lives to regret it all in “Eugene Onegin.”
Baritone Lee Poulis sings the title role as Opera Santa Barbara streams its 2019 production of Tchaikovsky’s musical drama based on the Alexander Pushkin novel. The show is free and starts at 5 p.m. Tuesday on facebook.com/operasantabarbara.
