Bluebeard's Castle Livestream Replay
LIVESTREAMS • 1h 14m
Bartok’s riveting chamber opera is given new life in this production from England’s Theatre of Sound. In a departure from the original folktale, a husband and wife deal with the implications of dementia. Instead of doors masking Bluebeard’s true soul, the audience encounters Judith’s fraught relationship with her memories and its effect on her husband.
Sung in English in a newly-commissioned translation, the production features a stellar cast including internationally renowned singers Susan Bullock and Michael Mayes in the principal roles of Duke Bluebeard and Judith. Players from the Atlanta Opera Orchestra will be featured in a new chamber orchestration.
This special co-production from England’s Theatre of Sound and Opera Ventures features a second act talkback with the cast and creatives of this powerful adaptation. Performed in English.
