Tchaikovsky's 'Eugene Onegin' with Apeinis, Martinsone, Yakovlev and Grecka from Riga

Tchaikovsky's 'Eugene Onegin' is an opera in 3 acts (7 scenes). The libretto, organised by the composer and Konstantin Shilovsky, very closely follows certain passages in Alexander Pushkin's novel in verse, retaining much of his poetry. Madame Larina and the nurse Filippyevna are sitting outside in the garden. They can hear Madame Larina's two daughters, Tatyana and her younger sister Olga, singing a love song. Madame Larina begins to reminisce about her own courtship and marriage. Performers:
