Pjotr I. Tschaikowsky zeigt in »Pique Dame« schonungslos Hermanns inneren Konflikt zwischen seiner bedingungslosen Liebe zu Lisa und seiner manischen Spielsucht, womit er hofft, Reichtum zu erlangen und gesellschaftliche Schranken zu durchbrechen. Musikalisch und dramaturgisch erinnert »Pique Dame«, uraufgeführt 1890 in St. Petersburg, dabei an die Grand Opéra: Pompöse Bilder, wie der St. Petersburger Sommergarten, mit groß angelegten Chorszenen treffen auf ein psychologisches Kammerspiel der Protagonist*innen. So wie bereits Tschaikowskys erste Puschkin-Vertonung »Eugen Onegin« war auch seine vorletzte Oper »Pique Dame« nach der gleichnamigen Erzählung von Alexander Puschkin ein großer Erfolg. Tschaikowski schrieb dazu: »Entweder befinde ich mich in einem schrecklichen Irrtum, oder »Pique Dame« ist wirklich mein Chef d'œuvre«. In der Semperoper gab es von dieser Oper bisher in den Jahren 1929 und 1947 Neuproduktionen. Für die aktuelle Inszenierung zeichnet der renommierte Film- und Opernregisseur Andreas Dresen, der das erste Mal an der Semperoper inszenieren wird, verantwortlich

Deutsch

In »The Queen of Spades« (»Pique Dame«), Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky is unsparing in his depiction of Hermann’s inner conflict between his unconditional love for Lisa and his manic addiction to gambling, with which he hopes to become rich and gain acceptance into the upper echelons of society. First performed in St. Petersburg in 1890, the opera is both musically and dramaturgically reminiscent of grand opéra due to its monumental scenes such as the St. Petersburg summer garden; the large-scale choral scenes are, however, contrasted with the intimate psychological drama of the protagonists. Just like Tchaikovsky’s first Pushkin setting »Eugene Onegin«, his penultimate opera »Pique Dame«, based on the story of the same name by Alexander Pushkin, was a smash hit. As Tchaikovsky noted: »Perhaps I am completely mistaken, but I believe »Pique Dame« to be my chef d’œuvre«. The opera, which has previously been performed in Dresden’s opera house in 1929 and 1947, will be staged by the renowned film and opera director Andreas Dresen in his very first production for the Semperoper.

Pique Dame by Tchaikovsky, P. I., Sun 12 Nov 2023, From (2023/2023), Directed by Andreas Dresen,, Conductor Mikahail Tatarnikov, Semperoper, Dresden, Germany
