Eugene Onegin at Opernhaus Zürich

This month, Mr. Bernheim returns to Opernhaus Zürich to perform the role of Lensky in Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin. Based on the classic Russian novel by Alexander Pushkin, this opera, which premiered in Moscow in 1878, tells a deeply moving tale of love and loss. Mr. Bernheim first sung the role alongside Bulgarian soprano Sonya Yoncheva at the Deutsche Oper in 2016. Opera Online praised his performance very highly: “The voice is sublimely warm, the homogeneity of the timbre flawless, but it is even more in the characterization of the character that Bernheim dazzles…” This time, under the baton of Maestro Gianandrea Noseda, Mr. Bernheim is joined by Igor Golovatenko as the title role, Ekaterina Sannikova as Tatiana, Liliana Nikiteanu as Larina and Rachael Wilson as Olga. The singers are accompanied by the Philharmonia Zürich and the Chor der Oper Zürich. 

The performances take place on February 10th, 16th, 19th, 24th & March 1st. Tickets and more information can be found here.
