Why See Metropolitan Opera - The Queen of Spades?

Classical & Opera

Play THE gAME

One man's dangerous obsession with winning at the card tables drives this devastating tale of terror from Pytor and Modest Tchaikovsky, marking its first Met performances since 2011. In a sweeping production from Elijah Moshinsky, we're taken back to the St. Petersburgh of Catherine The Great, where opulence and terror walk hand in hand as we follow a desperate soldier whose mission to rise above his station via the gaming tables proves to be his chaotic undoing. Bursting with Russian romanticism, The Queen of Spades is an intense and sweeping work that asks how high would you bet on the odds of success.

Sonya Yoncheva makes her role debut as Lisa, alongside Brian Jagde as her lover, Hermann.
