The aristocratic Yevgeny Onegin has come into his inheritance, leaving the glamour of St Petersburg’s social life behind to take up residence at his uncle’s country estate. Master of the nonchalant bow, and proof of the fact that we shine despite our lack of education, the aristocratic Onegin is the very model of a social butterfly – a fickle dandy, liked by all for his wit and easy ways. When the shy and passionate Tatyana falls in love with him, Onegin condescendingly rejects her, and instead carelessly diverts himself by flirting with her sister, Olga – with terrible consequences.
