Why The Queen of Spades is Tchaikovsky's lesser-known masterpiece (The Royal Opera)
Tchaikovsky’s most ambitious opera contains some of his greatest music and is a powerful study of destructive obsession. Cast Vladimir Stoyanov, Eva-Maria Westbroek, Aleksandrs Antonenko, Conductor Antonio Pappano, Director Stefan Herheim and Designer Philipp Fürhofer discuss why they love performing this powerful opera.

Tchaikovsky began work on The Queen of Spades in 1889. He based it on a short story by Alexander Pushkin, one of his favourite writers. He and his brother Modest (his co-librettist) dramatically altered Pushkin's plot, turning Gherman from a cynical opportunist into an ardent lover and Liza into a tragic figure. Tchaikovsky put a great deal of work into the opera's premiere at St Petersburg's Mariinsky Theatre in 1890, and was thrilled by its success.
The Queen of Spades is one of Tchaikovsky's most impressive and varied scores, containing grand choruses, intimate arias and duets (such as Liza and Gherman's passionate Act I love duet), a masquerade paying tribute to Mozart and a terrifying supernatural episode. Stefan Herheim's spectacular production places Tchaikovsky himself at the heart of the action, and asks searching questions about the nature of creativity and the parallels between life and art.
