Dmitri Hvorostovsky sings Eugene Onegin's first act aria from Tchaikovsky's opera. With Renee Fleming as Tatiana. Met, February 2007. Conductor: Valery Gergiev.
I still can't believe he is not with us. I was so lucky to see this incredible and unique artist singing one of his signature roles at the Met stage. It was not my first time of seeing his live performances but I was impressed so much by his voice and stage presence. He's one of the greatest opera artists ever lived.

He has such a huge amount of power in the lower frequencies of each note, making the voice sound incredibly commanding and manly. His voice sits higher and resonates deeper. A freak of nature. I love this guy. Sounds so impressive and huge.

Listen to the way he just flows through the opening bars of the aria. Dima’s legato - not to mention his exquisite voice - was truly exceptional.

Dima's voice... what a smooth, intense, rich tone. Like some sort of creamy liquor. Even if he tells her to back off and think better of things, I can understand why poor Tatyana would fall in love even harder after hearing this aria.

He's great singer. And I really love this interpretation of Onegin. Onegin was lovely romantic person destroyed by society and himself. I think that's why Onegin laughs after his second aria (when he meets Tatiana for the second time), and his final words are also about this. Cynicism and love are incompatible. P.S. I'm russian, I can hardly express myself, excuse me))))

I used to work for a Russian company. I tried to interest all the young Russians who worked for me in Russian opera. No soap. They had no idea of their cultural heritage. I've loved Eugene Onegin since I was a teen. Hvorostovsky has an advantage over other baritones. He never seems to breathe. He always sings long phrases in Russian opera and Verdi using fewer breaths than other baritones. Listen to any recording of the great Italian baritone Apollo Granforte. He takes almost twice as many breaths per phrase as Dmitri .

I saw Dimitri at the Chicago Lyric with this same stage production on loan from the Met. I don’t recall who the other leads were, I think Polenzani was in as Lensky (so a great cast). I got cheap student tickets last minute to a free rehearsal for the otherwise sold out run, and cut class day of to take advantage. Quarter full house, middle of a week day. Still to this day the best overall performance I’ve ever seen, with Dmitri at the center of it. Bravo, to this day.

The singing is as magnificent as the production is desiccated. I didn't see it at the Met, but I've seen it twice in the last three seasons, first in Chicago, and now in Washington. If ANY opera cries out for lush treatment, it's Onegin. Not sure what Robert Carsen was going for here, but this is the same guy who gave us the Met's current Rosenkavalier, with the third act in a brothel.

I have a friend who did one of Tatiana's parts for a competition and I preferred her over Renee. I honestly didn't like Renee as Tatiana.. but that's because I'm picky. Renee is pretty, yes, but she doesn't float it for me. Nooww... Dmitri Hvorostovsky is a whole 'nother story. He's damn fine in this. I love his hair. This aria just makes his voice go BAM!

English translation Pt 1 If I wished to pass my life within the confines of the family circle, and a kindly fate had decreed for me the role of husband and father, then, most like, I would not choose any other bride than you. But I was not made for wedded bliss, it is foreign to my soul, your perfections are vain, I am quite unworthy of them. Believe me, I give you my word, marriage would be a torment for us. No matter how much I loved you, habit would kill that love.
