Starting with the Russian baritone Anton Beliaev (Eugene Onegin), whose vocal authority makes him a natural fit for the title role. He has, moreover, been awarded the Yves Paternot Prize of the Academy. Self-sufficient, scornful to the right degree, his Onegin is so full of himself that even when he realizes his past mistake—his ill-placed condescension toward the woman who loved him and still does—he struggles to shed his arrogance in order to win back that lost love.
But here, even beside this highly charismatic Gremin, it is Onegin who steals the spotlight, embodied by the Russian baritone Anton Beliaev who, like his Tatiana that evening, seems to have been nurtured on Tchaikovsky’s work from the very start. First, there is that voice of exquisite roundness, with its warmth of tone and phrasing in which every word, every feeling, is adorned with the right color and the most fitting nuance. Above all, with his grave and soon sweat-drenched face, there is his way of fully inhabiting the role of the seemingly insensitive man who rejects love—until love in turn rejects him—sealing a fate marked by solitude and sorrow. Admittedly, in this version with a slightly shortened score, this Onegin does not sing the aria of his lament in Act III, yet this takes nothing away from a performance of complete authenticity, which shortly after the performance earned Anton Beliaev the Yves Paternot Prize, the festival’s most important distinction awarded to a young artist.
Meanwhile, Onegin spouts banalities to the unfortunate Tatyana. Anton Beliaev is a baritone with a bright voice, in a role often sung by richer, darker voices, but he shapes a young and lively Onegin, caring little about charming Tatyana—an indifference that, of course, unsettles her all the more.
