Canadian designer Michael Levine has become one of the most in-demand artists of the international theatre, and opera scenes. His collaborations with renowned directors such as Robert Carsen, and Robert Lepage have launched him to the forefront of design today. This thesis explores the many facets of his groundbreaking production of Eugene Onegin, performed in 1997/2007, at The Metropolitan Opera in New York. Using primarily semiotic and phenomenological theory, it will elucidate the many layers of interpretation and communication prevalent in his work. Beginning with the Process of Adaptation, the paper will then lead through a discussion of Levine’s development as a scenographer, and finally analyze his set and costume designs for Eugene Onegin
