Queen Of Spades Online

Elijah Moshinsky’s atmospheric production, designed by Mark Thompson, sets the stage for this gripping performance of Tchaikovsky’s passionate setting of Pushkin’s classic novel. Valery Gergiev’s idiomatic and authoritative conducting inspires a superb cast, headed by Plácido Domingo (Ghermann), breathtaking in his portrayal of a man unraveling toward suicide. Galina Gorchakova is Lisa, the woman he loves and destroys, Dmitri Hvorostovsky lends a superb voice and regal bearing to Prince Yeletsky; and Elisabeth Söderström is hair-raising as the old Countess. Olga Borodina is Paulina and Nikolai Putilin is Count Tomsky.

A Russian Ghost Story

Tchaikovsky anticipated the 20^th century in this brooding, ambitious ghost story set against the backdrop of imperial Russia. In this surreal drama by Pushkin, the soldier Gherman parlays his love for the young aristocrat Lisa into a life-and-death wager, using their mutual attraction to mask his entrée to her grandmother’s bedchamber. There, he confronts the aged Countess, known as the Queen of Spades, who long ago learned the secret to certain success when gambling at cards. She dies of fright, but her ghost soon conveys the formula to Gherman: “Three, seven, ace!” In his madness, Gherman rejects Lisa, with lethal results, then makes an enormous bet at the gambling table. He wins, first with a three and then a seven, but his final card is the Queen of Spades. The Countess’s ghost appears again and claims her macabre winnings—Gherman’s life.

This new production features the return of three beloved artists to DMMO. Tenor Jonathan Burton will sing his first Gherman after successful appearances as Dick Johnson in 2015’s The Girl of the Golden West and Calaf in Turandot in 2017. Following critically acclaimed performances as Marie in Wozzeck in 2019 and the title role of Rusalka in 2018, soprano Sara Gartland sings her first Lisa. When acclaimed mezzo-soprano Joyce Castle returns to sing the role of the Countess in The Queen of Spades, she will be debuting her 140^th role and the 51st year of her remarkable and wide-ranging career. The production will be led by Maestro David Neely and directed by Matthew Ozawa.
