Pique Dame - Premiere

Tschaikowskijs today after EUGEN ONEGIN's second most popular opera captivates above all with its sheer size: PIQUE DAME skilfully changes the mood from a large, representative choral and ensemble opera that evokes the splendor of the Tsarism, through folkloric moments to psychological chamber music scenes.

Pushkin's short novella became for Pjotr ​​and Modest Tchaikovsky the starting point for a psychogram of the two main characters Hermann and Lisa, who are connected in their fatalistic hopelessness and their failing pursuit of freedom.

The outsider Hermann is unhappy in love with the unreachable, from better circles coming Lisa. The only way out seems to be a mysterious card secret, guarding Lisa's aunt, the old countess. But when Hermann tries to wrest the secret from the countess, she dies. However, she reveals the card combination in a dream. Reality and delusion are hardly distinguishable for Hermann now. Instead of starting a new life with Lisa, he hurries to the game tables ...

Director Graham Vick stages TRISTIAN AND ISOLDE and DEATH IN VENICE for the fourth time at the Deutsche Oper Berlin. In the role of Hermann, the German-Brazilian tenor Martin Muehle returns to the Deutsche Oper Berlin after his success in ANDREA CHENIER.
