Obsessive in gambling and in love, the soldier Hermann is the protagonist of Tchaikovsky`s Pique Dame, based on a story by Pushkin. He is smitten with the aristocratic Lisa and fixated on learning the winning secret of "the three cards" from her grandmother, the Countess, played by iconic contralto Ewa Podles. This opulent production from Barcelona`s Liceu captures St Petersburg in the era of Catherine the Great, while the house`s Music Director Michael Boden conducts a large and impressive cast.
