Inspired by Pushkin's work, and set to Tchaikovsky's Symphony Pathétique, Petit's ballet opts for symbolism rather than a realistic narrative. The ballet focuses on the clash between the gambler, Hermann, danced by Nikolai Tsiskaridze, and the Countess, whom he robs, danced by Ilze Liepa. Liepa deploys extraordinary acting ability and a fascinating plastique. The ballet's main interest lies in the dramatic opportunities it provides for these interpreters, who certainly do manage to incarnate Pushkin's characters in a vivid and very personal way.
