520			_aFrom cover: This Glyndebourne Festival Opera production of "Pique Dame" won producer Graham Vick, designer Richard Hudson, lighting designer Thomas Webster, conductor Andrew Davis, the London Philharmonic, and the full cast of singers unanimous critical acclaim for their revelatory interpretation of the mesmeric and psychologically harrowing work, which Tchaikovsky himself regarded as his masterpiece. Hudson's eighteenth-century costumes are sumptuously realistic, while his set is abstract, modern - white walls, kinked in perspective and daubed with furious black ink-scratches, funnel the eye towards a black void. The ingenious use of props and lighting within this single unifying setting enables Vick to make strong dramatic points both in moments of private torment and of public ceremonial. It has a haunting power as it comes to symbolize Herman's horrifying descent into madness, brought about by his thirst to wrest from the old Countess the secret of the three cards, thus ensuring his fortune at the gambling tables.
