For the first time in my life I went to the opera. And Iwent not to the Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet Theatre, but to the opera performed by Vilnius City Opera and Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra at Vilnius Congress Hall.
I went to Opera Onegin composed by Caikovsky, story based on the novel in verse by Alexander Pushkin.

As delfi.lt states Onegin creators only few days before the performance faced a seriuos problem concerning the artist who had to permorm the main roles: Onegin and Tatyana. They fell sick therefore new artists had to be found in a very short time. Both perfomers of the roles of Onegin and Tatyana were brought from Germany.
Perfomers:
Onegin - Jurij Samoilov (borrowed from Germany, Oper Frankfurt)
Tatyana - Vida Mikneviciute (borrowed also from Germany, Mainz)
Olga - Jurgita Adamonyte
Lensky - Edgaras Montvidas
Commander Zaretsky - Tadas Girininkas
Trique - Rafailas Karpis
Mrs Larina - Sigute Stonyte
Nanya - Irena Milkevičiūtė
This season Vilnius City Opera repertoire consisted of 5 perfomances:
The Troubadour - opera by g. Verdi
Pelléas and Mélisande - opera by C. Debussy
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street - muscical by S. Sondheim (as I have heard absolutely amazing show)
Onegin - described here
and
Tosca - opera by G. Puccinni
To sum up everything I can say I've liked the opera Onegin very much.
