Something's wrong with me... this Hvorostovsky dude is old enough to be my father and I'm developing a fangirl crush for him... there is just something rly hot about him... anyway, love this scene, it made me cry.

I like more the movie Onegin 1958. Vishnevskaya is absolutely perfect singing for Tat'yana

What humiliation! What sadness!  What lamentable fate!

[LaVieVite]

"...(Onegin) Heaven sent me and until the fall I will be your guardian. You must abandon for me your house and your fashionable life. There is no other way. Onegin, I won't give in. You can't refuse. I must remain loyal to my vows. You must abandone everything for me. His desperation touched the most profound part of me. But what must be done will know to triumph over my feelings. I'm going. No! Enough! Obey me! No I won't give in! I love you! Leave me! I love you! Goodbye forever!

[LaVieVite]

"Don't you still have any pride or honor anymore?

I can't leave you!

You have to, Onegin.

Pity!

Why lie... I love you!

What do I hear? What word did you pronounce? What happiness! You are my life! I find again the Titiana from yesterday.

No! I can't go back! I belong to someone else! My destiny is fixed and I will be loyal to him!

Don't chase me! You love me, I won't leave you again. You are going to ruin your life. God wanted it, you are mine. All your life tended towards our union

[LaVieVite]

"Happiness was possible, so close... But my destiny is fixed without a return. I'm married and you must, I beg you, leave me.

Leave you? But how? No! To see you all times, to follow you everywhere, to be the loving testimony of a smile, of a look, of a motion, to listen to you, to understand your perfection, to live before you of impassioned torments until my death, here is my happiness. Here is my only dream, my only happiness!

[LaVieVite]

" (onegin) My God! Is it possible that in my humble prayer that your cold glare only seizes contemptible machinations? Your reproach torments me. If you knew how terrible it is to suffer from love, from reasoning in vain in order to calm the agitation of the blood, from desiring to hug your knees and, crying at your feet, to let flow the prayers, the wishes, and al that I feel again!

I am crying!

Cry! These tears are to me more dear than all the treasures of the world.

[LaVieVite]

"In another time, in this lost countryside, far from the fashionable vanities, I didn't please you. So why then are you pursuing me now? Why are you noticing me? Is it because I am part of the bigger world now, because I am rich, esteemed, and married to an admired man who won the love of the court? Is it because my shame would be seen by all the world and give you worth in society, an enviable reputation?

[LaVieVite]

"...and when, humbly, I listened to your lesson?

Have pity on me! I made a mistake, I've been punished well enough!

Onegin! I was younger then, I was better, it seems to me, and I loved you, but what did I fined in your heart? What response? Only rigor. The love of a humble adolescent wasn't new to you. Still today my blood turns to ice at the memory of your cold glare and from this confession. But I don't accuse you. You acted as an honest man and you were right to do so...."
