On Nov. 22, the curtain rose on only the second Eugene Onegin in Vancouver Opera's 49-year history. It was visually impressive, the warm autumnal hues of Neil Patel's set whisking the audience back to Madame Larina's 19th-century Russian country estate so evocatively that one could almost feel the breeze rustling through the birches. Rui Rita's fluid lighting rendered essentially the same scene a cold wasteland for Onegin and Lensky's duel, yet lent a cool glint of gray to the elegant, marbled Saint Petersburg ballroom in Act II. Sets and lighting, consummately integrated into the production, blostered the opera's turbulent emotional flux with extraordinary sensitivity.
