The opera was composed for the Mariinsky Theater on the initiative of the director of the Imperial Theaters, Ivan Vsevolozhsky. The libretto was written by Modest Tchaikovsky. The composer worked on The Queen of Spades in Florence in the winter of 1890 and completed the opera in a fantastically short time - 44 days.
“There is a strange Russian city. One can only dream of light in it... When spring comes, it may not please anyone in the world as much as the people of this imperious city. Timid, meek and gentle, when she is born, she anticipates her short existence... The white night that comes with spring is poisoned by this sorrow. A strange, reflected light torments, attracts and beckons, and when the sun rises, people are no longer able to rejoice in it: they are exhausted by the process of attraction to the light ... ”, - this is how Boris Asafiev’s article about The Queen of Spades begins. The plot of The Queen of Spades is saturated with Petersburg mythology. The action takes place in the Summer Garden, at the Winter Canal, in the house of the Countess on Malaya Morskaya, in St. Petersburg palaces and barracks.
This opera is not about Herman's passion for the card game, and not about his love for Lisa. It is about relations with death, about the fact that death can be deliverance, redemption... And, of course, Pyotr Ilyich wrote this opera about himself - about his fate, about fate, about the desire to be like everyone else and the right to be different...
