Prokofiev: The Gambler
Directed by Vasily Barkhatov
With Dmitrij Golovnin, Asmik Grigorian, Vladimiras Prudnikovas, Ieva Prudnikovaitė and Tomas Pavilionis
A general and his stepdaughter are both heavily in debt. When the family's tutor, in love with the girl, gets lucky at the gambling table, he tries to rescue her from her desperate situation, but she outright rejects him. Prokofiev's first full-length opera The Gambler, based on Dostoyevsky's partly autobiographical novella ironically written to settle gambling debts, is rarely performed today. This 2020 production brings together director Vasily Barkhatov and conductor Modestas Pitrenas and stars the winner of the 2019 International Opera Award, Asmik Grigorian, in the role of Polina.
