The production will mark the return of Asmik Grigorian as Tatiana where she will be joined by Iurii Samoilov as Onegin, tenor Stanislas de Barbeyrac as Lenski, mezzo-soprano Maria Barakova as Olga, and bass-baritone Alexander Tsymbalyuk as Prince Gremin. Mezzo-soprano Larissa Diadkova will reprise the role of Filippyevna.

Conductor Timur Zangiev will make his Met debut.

The opera will open on April 20 and will be performed eight times through May 16. The May 2 performance will be part of the Live in HD series.
