ONEGIN

I am listening to Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin right now.  Peter Mattei is a good singer, and no doubt he's a good Onegin, but it still hurts somewhat to think that Dmitri Hvorostovsky had to cancel his performance in this same role in this same production due to cancer.  I wish good luck for Mattei and a swift recovery and a speeedy return to the stage for Dima.
