Pikovaya Dama (The Queen of Spades), Tchaikovsky, P. I.
Opera
What is The Queen of Spades about? Is this opera a love story? Partly. Actually, like any opera. Two men loved one girl. One is handsome, successful, from a good family, for whom all paths are open. And the other is a poor, unknown, wicked loser. But the girl loves the second, which happens very often Is this opera a story about a game? Probably not. Although the game takes a very important place in it. You could even say that this is the story of two card games 50 years apart. One - once at Versailles au jeu de la Reine. And the second - half a century later in St. Petersburg. Everything else is in between. This is a story about terrible contradictions in the fate of people living in a city of tragic grandeur - Petersburg. He is also one of the main characters of the opera - a ghost town, a city of phenomenal beauty, built in just 200 years with an extraordinary and unprecedented scale; a disastrous city, since it was built on bones drowned in a swamp, absolutely European in architecture, and at the same time inhabited by Russian people. A city that periodically floods, and which became the birthplace of both the Golden and Silver Ages in Russian art
