In his lyrical opera Eugene Onegin, Tchaikovsky joined a number of scenes from Pushkin’s story that involved the emotional world and fortunes of his heroes. It gave him the scope to critically discuss some of the psychological conflicts and social sensibilities of that time in Russia. The opera tells the story of young aristocrat Eugene Onegin, who coolly rejects the love of the young Tatyana and later carelessly incites his best friend Lensky to challenge him to a duel, which the latter does not survive. When Onegin runs into Tatyana three years later, he finds she has married to a prince. He tries to win back her love, but now Tatyana rejects him, leaving Eugene behind in despair.
