The renowned Australian director Benedict Andrews, famed for his Shakespeare productions, plumbs the darkest depths of the human soul in this noir-inflected 1990s tale of a descent into the abyss. With her striking blonde hair, Asmik Grigorian resembles not so much a nineteenth-century ingénue as a blend of Adele and Marilyn Monroe. She has captivated critics and audiences alike, who were enthralled by her honeyed, heart-piercing voice and her unforgettable heroine. Asmik's Lisa is a strong woman with her own yearnings and dreams, making a conscious choice and captivating all with her magnetic presence.
With Irina Chernomurova, we will discuss the secrets of this "Pique Dame" production – its exceptional cast and performers, its bold take on a renowned classic, and, of course, Tchaikovsky’s ever-brilliant music.
