During a civil war, a man and his comrades kill a young girl's entire family. The plot spans many years, from the moment when the girl sets eyes on the boy who murdered her family but spared her life, until their reunion, years later. Peter Eötvös composed the opera Senza Sangue to be performed together with Bluebeard’s Castle by Béla Bartók, a composer with whom he shares the mother tongue of Hungarian music. In addition to similar atmospheres, the operas have identical orchestration and distribution of solo voices, as well as parallel plots: a couple who encounters demons from the past. In Bartók, the woman seeks to discover her husband's secret, hidden behind a forbidden door; in Eötvös, both share their secret, the fateful day when a bond was born between the two. An unmissable double performance for several reasons, one of them being the privilege of listening to this fabulous program directed by Peter Eötvös himself.
