The Bolshoi Theatre's Eugene Onegin was awarded the Casta Diva Award. The play was staged by the currently most popular director Dmitry Chernyakov. The conductor is Alexander Vedernikov.
The Costa Diva Award ceremony took place on November 13 on a New stage immediately after the next performance. The 2007 jury consisted of Ekaterina Biryukova, Marina Borisova, Mikhail Muginstein, Peter Pospelov, Nora Potapova, Gulyara Sadikh-zadeh, Elena Tretyakova. Casta Diva is a special and the only opera award in Russia.
It is awarded for outstanding achievements in the field of opera at the end of the calendar year. The Casta Diva Award was established in 1996. Its name comes from the aria of the same name by Norma, one of the most famous and most popular opera masterpieces by Vincenzo Bellini. The award is a bronze statuette of the virgin goddess, symbolizing the opera.
The premiere of the new version of "Eugene Onegin", which took place on September 1, 2006 on the New Stage of the Bolshoi Theater, provoked a vivid reaction from critics. Chernyakov and Vedernikov sought to get closer to Tchaikovsky's original idea, and, nevertheless, in search of new forms, they significantly modernized their creation. This was what emphasized his attractiveness. According to Alyosha Yenis, who made his debut as Onegin in the Bolshoi: "Onegin" is an opera for all time, it does not belong to a certain historical period, and everything in it is very modern, except for the duel. But, for example, there is no duel as such in this performance, which makes it even closer to the XX century or to the time in which we now live."
A brilliant decoration of the performance is Tatiana Monogarova's performance of the role of the main character. The soloist was awarded the award in the nomination "Singer of the Year". Two statuettes were awarded to the creators of the new "Eugene Onegin" at the Bolshoi Theater: director and production designer Dmitry Chernyakov and musical director and conductor Alexander Vedernikov. Among other contenders, the Bolshoi's "modern" Eugene Onegin remained the only winner.
