Tchaikovsky: Eugene Onegin

[Machine Translation] Replacing the traditional Pokrovsky production of the Bolshoi Opera since 1944, Chernyakov's new production of "Evgeny Onegin" was performed for the first time in 2006 and received great acclaim for its density, with the stage consistently confined to one large room and the entire story unfolding around a round table. The production was well received for its density, with the entire story taking place around a round table. The 2008 Paris relocation performance, with the best casting at the time, was a great success, and the video footage of the performance follows the elaborate stage with delicate camerawork, and is highly acclaimed as a definitive work. The bonus footage includes the tense stage production between Cherniakov and the performers of this production. This time, Japanese subtitles are added for the first time, and for the first time ever on Blu-ray, making full use of the HD recording specifications, making this a long-awaited re-release for fans.

1944年以来のボリショイ・オペラの伝統的なポクロフスキー演出版に代わり、2006年に初めて上演されたチェルニャコフによる新演出の『エフゲニー・オネーギン』は、舞台を一貫して一つの大きな室内に限定し、そこに置かれた円卓の周りですべての物語が展開するという密度の濃い作りで大きな評判となった。当時最高のキャスティングで臨んだ2008年のパリ引っ越し公演は大成功を収め、その様子を収めた映像も凝った舞台を繊細なカメラワークで追っており、決定盤の呼び声高い素晴らしい作品。特典映像として、チェルニャコフと、この作品の出演者との緊迫した舞台づくりの模様が収められている。今回はこの映像にこれまで無かった日本語字幕を付け、さらに初めてBlu-rayが登場することでHD収録のスペックをフルに生かした、ファン待望の再発売と言えそう。
