DUKE BLUEBEARD'S CASTLE (A KÉKSZAKÁLLÚ HERCEG VÁRA) "I want to open all doors!" Out of love for the mysterious Bluebeard, Judith wants to fathom his past and banish the darkness from his life. In doing so, she entangles herself more and more in his abysses: the couple struggles to get closer, but in the end their loneliness seems insurmountable. In his only opera, Bartók used the well-known Bluebeard material and created a gripping psychodrama. The outer and inner worlds cannot be separated from each other, the whole piece thrives on symbolic compression. The composer draws the seven hidden rooms, which Judith gradually explores, with impressionistic sound worlds and thus creates overwhelming musical images of the inner life of a couple. The staging by Francis Hüsers, set by Alfred Peter, gets to the bottom of the symbolism in order to make the patterns of attraction and violence between men and women, which are still valid today, tangible.
