It is rare when four of the Bolshoi’s greatest stars appear together in their home theatre in one of Russian opera’s masterpieces. The opera was Tchaikovsky’s, The Queen Of Spades, (Pique Dream), and Kultur is proud to present it here, complete, for the first time on DVD. With a libretto written by the composer’s brother, Modest, this tale of terror, with a plot involving obsessive love and gambling, hallucinations and descent into madness never fails to have a profound effect on its audience. The Bolshoi’s production is riveting, with sumptuous sets and costumes, and the famed Bolshoi chorus and corps de ballet are at their most elegant and spectacular.

La questione russa è tutta qui: russi e occidentali, seppur affini come cultura e mentalità, si strumentalizzano a vicenda per fini egemonici. Questa pièce teatrale di Kostantin Simonov, scrittore poeta e drammaturgo russo dell’epoca sovietica, si svolge nella New York degli inizi della Guerra fredda (1946). Rovesciandola, però, si potrebbe svolgere nella Mosca putiniana del 2018. Basterebbe cambiare il nome dei protagonisti e dei luoghi, sostituire democrazia a comunismo e voilà parrebbe scritta oggi. Non ci sarebbe bisogno neppure di cambiare alcun dettaglio della trama e neppure alcun dialogo. A 60 anni dalla sua uscita, questo piccolo gioiello torna finalmente disponibile al pubblico italiano. Seppur concepito come un testo di propaganda sovietica, la pièce non è solo un documento di un’epoca storica passata, ma qualcosa che ha una valenza anche dell’epoca che è seguita alla fine della guerra fredda..
