Presented in rep: Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin, which leaches all the irony out of Pushkin’s biting verse novel and devolves it into a romance; Heartbeat Opera will try to remediate things by Queering it. And a new Daniel Schlosberg opera — so far so good — which succumbs to the current need to be topical but looks pretty intelligent about it.
