The Sofia Opera and Ballet will present its first production for this season – "The Queen of Spades". It is by Tchaikovsky and will delight the audience next Friday – 18 November. Director of the spectacle is Vera Petrova.

The team of the Sofia Opera and Ballet recalls that the adaptations, screen versions and works of various arts inspired by Pushkin's novel "The Queen of Spades" began to appear immediately after the publication of Tchaikovsky's opera of the same name (in 1890 was the first production). The three operas that remain less well known, the first screen adaptations that appeared during the silent era and the 1949 British screen adaptation, have been described as true classics.
