Actor Ralph Fiennes will make his opera directing debut in Paris
next season with Tchaikovsky's “Eugene Onegin.”
The Paris Opera said Wednesday the production will run from Jan.
26 to Feb. 27 at the Palais Garnier and will star Boris
Pinkhasovich in the title role, Ruzan Mantashyan as Tatiana,
Bogdan Volkov as Lensky and Susan Graham as Madame Larina.
Fiennes, 62, has been nominated for three Academy Awards — most
recently, this year, for “Conclave” — and one Emmy Award. The
British actor won a Tony Award in 1995 for Shakespeare’s
“Hamlet.” Fiennes starred in the title role of the 1999 movie “Onegin,”
based on the same Alexander Pushkin novel as the opera. The film
was directed by his sister Martha Fiennes.
Semyon Bychkov will conduct most of the performances. Michael
Levine designs the sets and Annemarie Woods the costumes.
The Paris Opera 2025-26 season will have new productions of
Verdi's “Aida,” Wagner's “Die Walküre and ”Siegfried" and
Antonia Bembo's “Ercole amante.”
Revivals include Claus Guth's staging of Puccini's “La Bohème,”
moved to a spaceship and planet surface and John Adams' “Nixon
in China” with Renée Fleming and Thomas Hampson.
