Pikovaya Dama Tchaikovsky, P. I.

Premiere of the production: 23 May 1982

This production has graced our stage for more than three decades. The aesthetics of this production, closely tied to operatic tradition, have become a symbol of the esteem in which the classics are held. The sights of St. Petersburg and magnificent palace interiors form the backdrop against which Pushkin’s mystical tale unfolds. Symbols of the real world, such as the latticework of the Summer Garden, form a natural setting for the hero’s wild fantasies, within which the hero falls completely beneath the sway of his feverish senses. Caught up in a succession of supernatural events, he loses all touch with time. Tchaikovsky’s inspired music captures the inevitability of his imminent destruction.
