Text: Alexandr Sergejewitsch Puschkin

Conductor: Timur Zangiev
Production: Vera Nemirova

Three, seven and ace - with these three supposedly infallible cards, revealed to him by the ghost of the dead countess in a feverish vision, the outsider Hermann wants to win the big prize at the card game. At this point, however, he no longer wants the money to marry his former lover Lisa, but is hopelessly addicted to gambling. Based on a story by Puškin, /Pique Dame/ deals with a destructive loneliness resulting from social exclusion, to which the Countess, Lisa and Hermann himself fall victim.
