Pique Dame

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Boston Symphony Orchestra & Seiji Ozawa

Pique Dame, known in English as The Queen of Spades, is an opera by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky that premiered in 1890. Rooted in the Romantic tradition, the score features richly colouristic orchestration, lyrical vocal writing and dramatic pacing, and it represents a major work in Tchaikovsky's operatic output for its psychological intensity and integration of musical themes with theatrical narrative.
