A general and his stepdaughter are both heavily in debt. When the family's tutor, in love with the girl, gets lucky at the gambling table, he tries to rescue her from her desperate situation, but she outright rejects him.

Prokofiev's first full-length opera The Gambler, based on Dostoyevsky's partly autobiographical novel novella ironically written to settle gambling debts, is rarely performed today. This 2020 production brings together director Vasily Barkhatov and conductor Modestas Pitrenas and stars the winner of the 2019 International Opera Award, Asmik Grigorian, in the role of Polina.

Streamed on OperaVision on 11 September 2020 at 19:00 CET and available for 3 months: [ Ссылка ]
