Hear Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky's "The Queen of Spades" on Classical IPR on Saturday at 1 p.m.
The Queen of Spades takes the stage at The National Theater of Munich under the direction of Aziz Shokhakimov. This Tchaikovsky opera navigates the dark and obsessive tale of Hermann, performed by Brandon Jovanovich in a story of desire, gambling, and the supernatural. Asmik Grigorian and Roman Burdenko join in the performance of what some say is Tchaikovsky’s greatest work.
