A mental fight between a young lady and a duke, who keeps a lot of horrifying secrets, represents a clash of two different worlds – Man and Woman, who are trapped in a wake of eternal erotic mutual attraction but still are incapable of either understanding or accepting each other in full measure. The narration is mastered with psychological accuracy, which resembles a thriller movie at some point

“Bluebeard’s castle” is an outstanding phenomenon in the European musical theatre of XX century. First viewed with a skeptical eye by the majority of the contemporary audience, this opera finally has reached wide recognition around the world.

A symbolic drama full of allegory and innuendo incarnates the ageless subject of solitude and dissociation between people. Musical fabric of the opera is a whole different fascinating world. Impressively colorful, artistically ornamental, sparkling with finest details, it is weaved with plenty of expressive means genuine and even bold in its innovative aspect; Bartok used them to thoroughly depict this quirky, dusky, scenic fantasy background for the action of his opera.
