Tchaikovsky's classic opera Eugene Onegin is adapted from a verse novel under the same name by Alexander Pushkin, who is known as the "father of Russian literature." The story revolves around the cynical aristocrat Eugene Onegin and his fateful encounter with the sincere and refined Tatiana, leading to a tale of love and regret.
