In Saint Petersburg, a penniless German soldier seeks happiness, which he believes money will bring to him. A secret kept by an elderly countess might help him amass wealth, and under uncanny circumstances, the secret is revealed to him. Three, seven, ace: “The Queen of Spades”, however, has her revenge...
The Tchaikovsky brothers wrote this gripping, romantic drama based on Pushkin's spine-chilling novella, and it is still counted among the most popular of all Russian operas.
