I had ordered this item believing it to be bilingual english-russian, and in fact it is a performers' translation for performing the opera in English. Nevertheless I am glad to have as it greatly enhances my appreciation of the Russian CDs I have. I don't know whether a bilingual edition is in fact available.Response and delivery time were perfect
Everything is fine except that I purchased a Russian opera hoping to get a Russian libretto. Maybe I didn't read the details clearly before I purchased this but it only has an English libretto. Bummer.
For asn English scvore it was fine,however many companies are now performing this in Russian and I expected Schirmer editions to have included the Russian text by now
Just what I needed to prep for the performance, which was in Russian. This English version aided in understanding the story and emotions of the characters.
Wonderful Story. Get Vladimir Nabokov's translation of Aleksander Pushkin's "Eugene Onegin". I couldn't put it down and when I finished it I read it over again. Get the 2007 Metropolitan Opera's DVD of Tchaikovskys "Eugene Onegin" with Renee Fleming and Dmitri Horostovsky singing the two leads, Tatiana and Eugene. Horostovsky was born to sing "Eugene Onegin".
