Opera in three acts
Text Modest I. Tchaikovsky & Alexander Pushkin
Language Russian

An officer, an unattainable love and a deadly secret: Hermann loves Lisa, who is under the care of the old countess, but as a penniless outsider, his path to her remains blocked.

When Hermann learns that the countess is keeping a secret from her past, a possibility opens up to him: she knows three playing cards that never lose. Seized by this promise, Hermann makes his way to her - and stakes everything on a single chance. Tchaikovsky's Queen of Spades tells of the fatal hope of being able to change one's fate in one fell swoop.
