Why Watch The Queen of Spades
Why Watch The Queen of Spades
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky is one of the most influential composers in classical music, renowned for his ability to bring a vast range of human emotions into his compositions. Based on a short story by Alexander Pushkin, also titled The Queen of Scots, Tchaikovsky’s composition changes the plot significantly.
Elijah Moshinsk’s Hermann is more agitated, and it is easy to see the doubt and torment of a man who is torn between his irrational love for a woman, and his obsession with a well-guarded secret.
The Story
Tchelinsky and Sourin are two officers, who are discussing their gambling-obsessed colleague Hermann. Hermann, however, never gambles despite his keen interest in it. Hermann confesses to Count Tomsky about his feelings for an unknown girl. Soon, Prince Yeletsky enters with his fiancee, Lisa, and her grandmother, who was the old countess. Hermann is shocked to see that the unknown woman is Lisa.
Tomsky narrates a story about how the old countess utilized a mysterious combination to win a fortune at gambling, and only shared this secret with two other individuals. He goes on to say that there is a prophecy that she will die at the hands of the third person who wrests the secret from her. Although the other men laugh at the story, Hermann is lost deep in thought.
Will Hermann uncover the mystery of the gamble made by the old countess and win the heart of the woman he loves? Is his obsession taking him down a dark path of no return?
