Bluebeard's Castle by Bartók

In Duke Bluebeard’s Castle, his new wife Judith unlocks it’s seven mysterious doors one by one, each revealing its own horror... Bartók’s one act opera is a 20th-century masterpiece and a work of extraordinary atmosphere, astonishing theatrical power and beauty. Old Saint Paul’s church becomes the oppressive gothic castle in this dark psychological drama performed by two acclaimed professional opera singers in a reduced and intimate semi-staged english language version. Experience the visceral power of live, unamplified world-class singing and acting. Catherine Backhouse (Judith), James Corrigan (Bluebeard), Lliam Paterson (piano), Mark Burns (director)
