There is an interesting parallel between the subject of the opera and Tchaikovskys life during the year he wrote the work (1877): in each case, a letter provokes fateful developments in the lives of the protagonists. In the opera, Tatyanas love letter to Eugene sets off the tragedy, whereas in real life, the love letter of a pupil led the composer into a marriage, which lasted all of ... three months. Tchaikovsky took this doomed decision "without love, solely because the circumstances want it and because I cannot act differently. Certain allusions made, for example, in a letter of January 1878 to Taneyev suggest that the composers personal situation also flowed into the work: "I did not want anything to do with the so-called grand opera. I am looking for an intimate but powerful drama which is built on the conflict of circumstances which I myself have seen and experienced, a conflict which truly moves me. Partly for this reason the composer decided to call the work not an "opera but "lyrical scenes."Eugene Onegin", conceived by Tchaikovsky for "limited resources and a small stage, is the most frequently performed Russian opera today along with Mussorgskys "Boris Godunov", which represents a completely contrary aesthetic stance.
