La Dame de Pique
In the dying days of France’s Ancien Régime, ambition and survival turn society into a game where everyone is trying to play the stronger hand.
First Night is a theatre diary for logging the shows you've seen and discovering what to see next.
Set near the end of the Ancien Régime, the opera follows a shifting web of ambition, strategy and survival across different levels of French society. Loosely based on a novella, it treats power as a game in which social position can change quickly and every move carries consequences.
An opéra-comique performed in French with English surtitles and newly created English dialogue, accompanied by a chamber orchestra and shaped around wit, intrigue and social manoeuvring.
historical intrigue, social power games, chamber-scale opera and French-language performance.
