Pique Dame

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Mariinsky Theatre Chorus & Orchestra of the Mariinsky Theatre & Valery Gergiev

Pique Dame (The Queen of Spades) is an opera by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, premiered in 1890. The work is a late Romantic opera that blends lyrical vocal writing and rich orchestration with a dark, psychologically driven narrative, representing a mature stage in Tchaikovsky's operatic output and his synthesis of Russian musical idioms with Western operatic forms.
First released: 7th September 1993
