Pikovaya Dama

German, the protagonist of the opera, is in love with Liza, a girl from a noble and wealthy family. But to him, a poor officer, she "cannot belong." Moreover, as it turned out, Liza has a fiancé ... Gloomy and silent, Herman spends the whole night at the card table, but does not enter the game.

A real storm in the troubled soul of the hero is born by the story of a friend - he hears from Tomsky an anecdote about the countess, whom rumor called the Queen of Spades. In her youth, the beautiful countess passionately loved the card game, and once, with a big loss, she was called three cards. Betting on them, she won three times in a row. The countess has already revealed this secret to two, and from the third - death is predicted for her.

From that moment on, Herman's consciousness is driven by two conflicting manias, two passions: the thirst for love and the thirst to learn the secret of the three cards - to get rich. Gradually, the second, becoming from a means - an end, displaces the first ...

English

Герман, главный герой оперы, влюблен в Лизу, девушку из знатной и богатой семьи. Но ему, бедному офицеру, она «принадлежать не может». Тем более, как оказалось, у Лизы есть жених… Угрюмый и молчаливый, Герман ночи напролет проводит у карточного стола, но в игру не вступает.

Настоящую бурю в смятенной душе героя рождает рассказ приятеля – он слышит от Томского анекдот о графине, которую молва нарекла Пиковой дамой. В молодости красавица графиня страстно любила карточную игру, и однажды, при крупном проигрыше, ей назвали три карты. Поставив на них, она выиграла три раза кряду. Тайну эту графиня открыла уже двоим, а от третьего – ей предсказана смерть.

С этого момента сознанием Германа движут две противоречивые мании, две страсти: жажда любви и жажда узнать тайну трех карт – разбогатеть. Постепенно вторая, становясь из средства – целью, вытесняет первую…
