Prokofiev's "The Gambler" is based on a novella by Dostoyevsky and is set in the fictional casino town of Roulettenburg, where a multitude of characters clash and clash. These characters include a general who is in debt to a covetous marquis, the general's disgruntled stepdaughter, Polina, and Alexey, who has feelings for her. Director Peter Sellars, known for his sensitive interpretations of overlooked masterpieces, challenges us to emulate the courage of Dostoyevsky and Prokofiev - the courage to face our inner darkness. The musical direction of Russian conductor Timur Zangiev shines together with the vocal performances of the exceptional cast.
