“The Kirov's production is breathtakingly gorgeous... The star, of course, is the inimitable Uliana Lopatkina, who has been the Kirov's hottest ticket for many years. She merits the hype... her technical facility is extraordinary. Her first act pas de deux is a jaw-dropping display of molten, luxurious control and suspension.” The Boston Globe | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | The opera was Tchaikovsky's, The Queen Of Spades, (Pique Dame). 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.
