Dostoyevsky’s partly autobiographical novel about an obsessive gambler is heightened musically in Sergei S. Prokofiev’s opera «The Gambler»: with its relentless driving energy Prokofiev’s composition portrays a society in the grip of a fever, putting itself at stake by renouncing all its liabilities. Luck is conspicuous by its absence – both in gambling and in love.
