The Let's play version of Rachmaninoff's opera The Miserly Knight transports the action to the world of computer games. Albert turns from a profligate tournament participant into a gamer, his father is not a loan shark but an Internet debt collector, while the Duke is the head of a multinational financial corporation. They all share a passion for the online battles in which they spend their free time.

In the process of working on The Miserly Knight I noticed one interesting feature of the chosen genre. Usually, when working on an opera, interpreting directors are forced to make some assumptions in the text: taking the action to another era, they replace the phrase "Keep a hundred gold pieces and ride your horse" with handing over a wad of dollars and driving off in a cab on stage. At the same time, when we added the extra world of the computer game to our production, the quite modern-looking characters could operate with gold coins in virtual space without causing dissonance between the text and the action.
