Queen of Spades // Performance on Screen
Get lost in the harrowing story of penniless soldier Gherman, who is caught between the woman he loves and a destructive fixation. Based on the short story by Pushkin, Tchaikovsky’s stunning opera, staged at the Royal Opera House by Stefan Herheim, is an engrossing portrayal of a tortured creative artist and a gripping piece of gothic storytelling. With grand choruses, intimate arias and duets, and a masquerade paying tribute to Mozart, this spectacular production is not one to miss.
Includes one fifteen-minute intermission
