Omer Meir
Wellber conducts a live recording of Tchaikovsky’s opera Eugene Onegin that is
being released as a DVD/Blu-ray from Cmajor in April 2013. The recording was
made during his first year as Music Director at the Palau de les Arts Reina
Sofia in Valencia at the rostrum of the Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana.
In Mariusz Trelinski’s production he leads “an ideally well-balanced vocal
cast” (Die Welt, 5 February 2011) headed by Artur Ruzinski as Onegin and
Kristīne Opolais as Tatyana.
Mariusz Trelinski, Polish filmmaker and theater director, has created a series
of dream-like, surrealist tableaux. The clear lines of the production are
echoed by the slender musical design of Omer Meir Wellber – “Young and
highly talented conductor Omer Meir Wellber turns Tchaikovsky’s opera Eugene
Onegin into a miracle of poetry.” writes Julia Spinola in the Frankfurter
Allgemeine Zeitung (29 January 2011).

production.
The opera is also being broadcast on the Classica television channel on 17 April 2013 at 20.15. Please contact us for a
