Georgian Tenor Tenghiz Zaalishvili sing Lensky\'s \"Oh where have you gone my youth\"Translation:\nWhere, where, where have you gone, \nO golden days of my spring?\nWhat will the approaching day\nhave in store for me?\nIt escapes my eyes,\nIt is hidden from me!\nWill I fall to the deadly arrow,\nOr will it pass by me?\nWhat is to happen will happen ...\nThere is a fated time\nFor life and for sleep.\nBlessed is the simple working day\nAnd blessed is the day of dread.\nWill the sun shine on me at daybreak\nAnd will its brightness stay with me?\nOr will I, well, will I, perhaps, descend\nInto the darkness and mystery of my tomb of death?\n... And will all memory of this weird poet\nfade into theabyss?\nThe world will forget me, but will you?,\nYou!... Olga...?\nTell me ...,\nWill you, my maiden of beauty, \nCome to shed a tear over my untimely grave ...\nAnd, maybe, think \"he did love me!\" ...\n\"He was devoted to me\".\nO dark morn of a wretched life!\nAh! Olga, I did love you,\nTo you alone I was devoted.\nO dark dawn of a wretched life!\nYes Olga, I did love you!\nMy dear friend, my dearest friend,\nCome, O come to me ... I can be your man!\nWhere, where, where have you gone,\nO golden days of my spring? \n\n\nStudied in Tbilisi concervatory under maestro Sandro Inashvili became a pupular tenor whenwas chosen by Georgian government to impersonate famous Georgian tenor Vano Saradjishvili(1879-1924) who was then called Nightingale of Georgia.\nBecame Tbilisi Opera House principal tenor and performed internationaly within the Soviet Block countries.\nPartnered Jerome Hines(Faust),Kim Borg(bass), Dorothy Kirsten(Alfredo in \"La Traviata\") Lia Hubik, Nicolae Herlea and many other internationaly acclaimed singers.\nWas among other prominent Georgians invited to USA by Jimmy Carter and recieved honorary Georgian Citizenship(USA).\nNamed as a People\'s Artist of Georgia still ocasionally performs at the age of 78.\nHonorary member of Georgian Academy of Science and Culture, lives in Tbilisi Georgia.\nContact Tbilisi Opera for more information.\nwww.opera.ge/ (more) (less)\n\nEugene Onegine\nAct 1\n\nScene 1: The garden of the Larin country estate\nMadame Larina (mezzo-soprano) and the nurse (mezzo-soprano) are sitting outside: her two daughters, Tatyana (soprano) and younger sister Olga (contralto), can be heard from inside the house. A group of peasants sing a comic song about the serenading of a miller\'s daughter. Tatyana is reading a romantic novel but her mother tells her that real life is different. Visitors arrive: Olga\'s fiancé Lensky (tenor), a young poet, and his friend Eugene Onegin (baritone), a world-weary St Petersburg \'drawing-room automaton\' (Nabokov). Lensky introduces Onegin to the Larin family. Onegin is initially surprised that Lensky has chosen the extrovert Olga rather than her romantic elder sister. Tatyana for her part is immediately and strongly attracted to Onegin.Scene 2: Tatyana\'s room\nTatyana confesses to her nurse that she is in love. Left alone she writes a letter to Onegin driven by the realization that she is fatally and irreversibly drawn to him (the celebrated \'Letter Scene\'). When the old woman returns Tatyana asks her to arrange for the letter tobe sent to Onegin.\n\nScene 3: Another part of the estate\nOnegin arrives to see Tatyana and give her his answer to her letter. He explains, not unkindly, that he is not a man who loves easily and is unsuited to marriage. Tatyana is crushed and unable to reply.\n\nAct 2\n\nScene 1: The ballroom of the Larin house\nTatyana\'s name-day party. Onegin is irritated with the country people who gossip about him and Tatyana, and with Lensky for persuading him to come. He decides to revenge himself by dancing and flirting with Olga. Lensky becomes extremely jealous. Olga is insensitive to her fiancé and apparently attracted to Onegin. There is a diversion, while a French neighbour called Monsieur Triquet (tenor) sings some couplets in honour of Tatyana, after which the quarrel becomes more intense. Lensky renounces his friendship with Onegin in front of all the guests, and challenges Onegin to a duel, which the latter is forced, with many misgivings, to accept.\n\nScene 2: On the banks of a wooded stream, early morning\nLensky is waiting for Onegin, and sings of his uncertain fate and his love for Olga. Onegin arrives. They are both reluctant to go ahead with the duel but lack the power to stop it. Onegin shoots Lensky dead.
