I poured my heart out in that letter... |

Eugene was simply irresistible. What could Tatiana do? She fell in love on the spot, and committed her deep feelings to a fateful letter. But who knew a duel would change their world? Inspired by Pushkin's great novel in verse, Tchaikovsky's gorgeous music brings the tragedy of the luckless lovers to life. |
