Director: Dmitri Tcherniakov
Ognovenko, Opolais, Didyk, Toczyska, Rügamer

Based on Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novel of the same name, The Gambler is a dark study of human failings and the corruptive power of money.

The Staatskapelle Berlin under the baton of world-famous conductor Daniel Barenboim provides the orchestral sound to the full, lustrous voices of Misha Didyk, Kristine Opolais, Vladimir Ognovenko and Stefania Toczyska.

Recorded live at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden, Berlin, March 2008.
