Song of the Week has neglected Opera so far but we are going to start at the top with the 'Letter Scene' from Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin, based on Pushkin's verse novel. Tatyana pours out her love for Onegin by writing a middle of the night letter (never the best time perhaps). Onegin is not impressed. But he comes to regret it. Anna Netrebko is Tatyana in this New York Metropolitan Opera production.
