Photo Flash: Houston Grand Opera Presents QUEEN OF SPADES
By: Gabrielle Sierra Apr. 16, 2010
One man's obsession with a lucky card trick turns the fates of three in Tchaikovsky's vibrant melodrama. Russian tenor Vladimir Galouzine returns to HGO as the tormented Herman, internationally renowned soprano Tatiana Monogarova makes her HGO debut as his beloved Lisa, and Vasily Ladyuk is the dashing Prince Yeletsky. Canadian mezzo-soprano Judith Forst is the keeper of the fated secret. This award-winning production is a visual treat with imaginative puppets and mixed-period costumes. Italian maestro Carlo Rizzi conducts.
