New production. Libretto by Modest Tchaikovsky, after the novel by Alexander Pushkin. The Queen of Spades is a quintessential Russian opera and probably Tchaikovsky’s greatest masterpiece. The composer fills Pushkin's protagonists with fire and tension, as they struggle against, and are consumed by Fate. Liza burns with desire for Herman, but the latter is gradually devoured by his passion for gambling, obsessed with a magic formula that will bring him fortune. In this race against the clock, the music swells with rage as the hero's pathology deepens. While elegantly depicting Russian aristocracy, he devotes his finest skills to the terrible figure of the Countess, the infamous Queen of Spades.
