In the 19th century Anton Rubinstein (1829 -1894) was referred to as the outstanding piano virtuoso amongst the composers of the time and the most outstanding composer amongst the piano virtuosos of the time. In Riga, Rubinstein performend since the age of 15. The total number of concerts given in Riga also reaching 15, he elicited immense admiration inhis listenersand earned his nickname Anton-the-first-in-the-field-of-piano. In his concert of 29 January 1880, during his last visit to Riga, he won the audiences acclaim by also performing ballet music fragments from his most successful opera „The Demon". Eyewitnesses found difficult to describe the exaltation generated by Anton Rubinsteins apperarances in Riga. 

The Stage Director Andrejs Žagars, Conductor Normunds Vaicis, Set and Costume Designer Ieva Kauliņa and Lighting Designer Reinhard Bichsel are presenting a new production of this significant work of Russian romantic music, so frequently staged previosly.

One of the reasons for reverting to Anton Rubinsteins „The Demon", is to be found in the necessity to enrich the operas basic repertoire with works that allow us to have a more comprehensive and thorough insight into the nature of the lost time and the era or Romanticism. The second reason is quite simple and relevant to universal subjects, i.e. „The Demon" is a story about passion, solitude of the soul and the last desperate attempt to love. This is a message about the struggle of good and evil that has taken place and continues to take place in a world populated by people and spirits.

Andrejs Žagars: „For instance, I wouldnt like the main character to appear something like a monster flying on a cable, in an exaggerated costume, like an alien from the other world. I will try to approximate his psycho-physical expressions, his image with other characters. He will probably be the distinguished only by his movements of reactions."
