Grinnell College will stream Russian Composer P. I. Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin at noon Saturday, April 22, as part of the Metropolitan Live in HD movie theater transmissions program.

The opera will be live streamed in the Harris Center Cinema, 1114 10th Ave., Grinnell. There will be no opera talk before the opera.

Eugene Onegin follows an adolescent girl, Tatyana, as she grows from a young romantic to a mature and decisive woman. Adapted from Alexander Pushkin's iconic novel by the same name, the opera is tender, melancholic, romantic, and grand.

Robin Ticciati conducts, and Anna Netrebko and Elena Maximova play the roles of Tatiana and her sister, Olga, respectively.

Eugene Onegin is the ninth in a series of 10 operas to be shown at the Harris Center this season. The remaining opera is Johann Strauss II's Der Rosenkavalier, which will be streamed at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 13, 2017.

Refreshments will be available for sale in the lobby of the cinema before each opera and during intermission.

Tickets are available at the Pioneer Bookshop and at the door on the day of the show. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students, children, and Met Opera members.

The Office of the President has generously funded tickets for Grinnell College faculty, staff, and students, and tickets are available for free at all locations. Family members not employed by the College are required to purchase tickets.
