The Queen of Spades by Tchaikovsky, P. I., hAo 27 Beal 2022, Ó (2022/2022), Faoi stiúir Stanislav Gaudasinsky, Margarita Kunitsyna-Tankevich, Olga Kokh, Seoltóir Alexander Soloviev, Timur Zangiev, Mikhailovsky Theater, Saint Petersburg, Russia

The performance has been on our stage for more than three decades. Staged in accordance with the aesthetics of the traditional opera house, it has become a symbol of respect for the classics. The mystical Pushkin story unfolds against the backdrop of St. Petersburg landscapes and in magnificent palace interiors. Symbols of the real world, in particular, the lattice of the Summer Garden, serve as a natural boundary for the unbridled fantasies of the protagonist, who eventually falls completely into the power of his inflamed consciousness. Caught up in a string of supernatural events, he loses all grip on time. In the brilliant music of Tchaikovsky there is a total predestination of his inevitable collapse.
