Summary:

Elijah Moshinsky's atmospheric production, designed by Mark Thompson, sets the stage for this gripping performance of Tchaikovsky's passionate setting of Pushkin's classic novel. Valery Gergiev's idiomatic and authoritative conducting inspires a superb cast, headed by Plácido Domingo (Ghermann), breathtaking in his portrayal of a man unraveling toward suicide. Galina Gorchakova is Lisa, the woman he loves and destroys, Dmitri Hvorostovsky lends a superb voice and regal bearing to Prince Yeletsky; and Elisabeth Söderström is hair-raising as the old Countess. Olga Borodina is Paulina and Nikolai Putilin is Count Tomsky
