Tchaikovsky’s Sweepingly Romantic Eugene Onegin Comes to the Newport Big Screen, Streamed Live from New York in Glorious High Definition

NEWPORT, OR: Oregon Coast Council for the Arts (OCCA) continues its acclaimed award-winning series, The Met: Live in HD, with a breathtaking on-screen presentation of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin. Coastal audiences can experience the beauty, grandeur, and raw emotional power of world-class opera streamed directly from the Metropolitan Opera stage in New York on Saturday, May 2, 2026, at 10:00 AM at the Newport Performing Arts Center.

Based on Alexander Pushkin’s classic verse novel, the opera tells the heartbreaking tale of Tatiana, a passionate and idealistic young girl, and Onegin, a bored, urbane aristocrat who rejects her love, only to realize his true feelings far too late.
