Crime and Punishment focuses on the mental anguish and moral dilemmas of Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov, an impoverished St. Petersburg student who formulates and executes a plan to kill a hated, unscrupulous pawnbroker for her money, thereby solving his financial problems and at the same time, he argues, ridding the world of evil. Crime and Punishment is considered by many as the first of Dostoevsky's cycle of great novels, which would culminate with his last completed work, The Brothers Karamazov, shortly before his death.

3 stars

È un bel libretto, non incredibile, ma ben scritto. Scorre veloce e, nonostante i balzi temporali, mantiene un pedale stabile. Alcuni personaggi sono interessanti e toccanti, altri sullo sfondo lasciano il dispiacere di una cattiva messa a fuoco. Tutto tranquillo, la solita dinamica di come un capriccio di un potente diventa un'ecatombe di poveracci, mentre la vita si risolve, ad ogni livello, nelle sue storie d'amore più o meno sofferte.
