More Details on Tchaikovsky - Pique Dame

Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s opera Pique Dame or The Queen of Spades is one of his greatest masterpieces for the stage. TDK presents a DVD recording of a production by the Opéra National de Paris under the direction of Lev Dodin and the baton of Gennadi Rozhdestvensky
 
This performance – sung in the original Russian – combines the western European staging-tradition and Russia’s masterful musicality. Combined with first-class singers, mostly of Russian origin, this makes for a recording that is an audiovisual treat.
 
The opera deals with the destructive and isolating nature of an addiction to gambling. The filming is sensitive to both the perfectly composed set and the impressive acting. The director captures the claustrophobic atmosphere in the madhouse and the trapped situation of the main characters – trapped in love like Lisa, in obsession like Herman or in the past like the “Pique Dame”.
