The Queen of Spades

My amigos invited to join them on The Queen of Spades. :-) In the first lines, i'd like to say Grand Merci to them! :-D

What concerns opera itself - that was breath-taking performance in the National Opera House of Ukraine. I should admit, that it's a three hour long opera, what none of us excluding organiser have expected. So, three acts accordingly:

• 1st - just wondering what's going on
• 2nd - i bit dull
• 3rd - at last you get all the drama and mood!

I would recommend it to lovers of classical russian literature (i'm reading Karamasov brothers by Dostoevski right now).
