From the Grand Theatre in Leeds, Christopher Cook introduces Opera North's new period production of Tchaikovsky's tragic tale of obsession and greed - The Queen of Spades. The young gambler Hermann attempts to end his run of bad luck by trying to discover the old Countess' secret of the cards and winning the hand of her granddaughter Lisa in marriage. Willing to risk everything, he ends up gambling with love and life and losing at both.
