  • Eugene Onegin

    Northern Ireland Opera
    Sep 2024

    • Ukraine-born baritone Yuriy Yurchuk, a former Jette Parker young artist at the Royal Opera, returned to the company (he was Giorgio Germont in La Traviata) to sing the title role: rich-toned and offering a stylish line in callous disdain.

    • Ukrainian baritone, Yuriy Yurchuk, captured the charm and haughty arrogance of Onegin to perfection in the early scenes. There was a striking contrast with the distraught, disheveled character who we saw languishing at Tatyana’s feet in the final scene. His voice was powerful and imposing at various points rising above big orchestral forces, but he was also sensual and lyrical and blended beautifully with the other performers in the ensemble scenes. His final duet with Mary McCabe’s Tatyana was thrilling both dramatically and musically and his final cries were devastating

    • Ukraine-born Yuriy Yurchuk has a lovely, lyrical baritone and captures Onegin's journey from haughty superiority to the brokenness of the final duet.

    • The Ukrainian baritone Yuriy Yurchuk is an ideal Eugene Onégin, assuming a supercilious and smarmy persona, before understanding the error of his ways, only to get his comeuppance. The voice is ideal, with warm even tone, great quality and an assured easy production
