STAGED BY DMITRI TCHERNIAKOV STAATSOPER UNTER DEN LINDEN

Based on Dostoyevsky's novella of the same name, Prokofiev's early opera The Gambler is a somber study in human weakness and the corrupting power of money. The conductor Daniel Barenboim and the acclaimed director Dmitri Tcherniakov have distilled from the opera a distinguished production full of brilliant ideas and ebullient musical power.
The Prokofiev renaissance has reclaimed one of the composer's most daring, almost "futuristic" pieces from neglect-a work that is nothing less than "a discovery". (Süddeutsche Zeitung) The evening zips past entertainingly, yet leaves its traces in the listener's mind: a stroke of genius like Prokofiev's opera itself. (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung)
