OK, did anyone here see this tonight and not cry at Fleming's and Hvorostovsky's (and actress Frances Sternhagen's) scenes from Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin? I loved the Albert Innaurato adapatation, and I loved the singers performing with the orchestra right behind them. When they stopped singing, and Tchaikovsky's music continued portraying the charaters' stormy emotions, as only Tchaikovsky can, and seeing the orchestra playing the music, just got me right in the gut! Now THAT's Opera.
