“A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction,” Virginia Woolf claimed in her classic work A Room of One’s Own in 1929.

Based on Woolf’s text, the essay-like A Room of One’s Own is a women’s opera about women. It explores the female role in society, questioning why women have been overshadowed by men. Judith Shakespeare, the invented sister of the famous playwright, is just as talented and hard-working as William, but she has no career prospects because of her gender.

The mystic ambiance continues in the evening’s second chamber opera. Bluebeard’s Castle is a dreamlike psychological drama, to which the Hungarian language gives added vivacity of sound.

The orchestra weaves the fabric of the thriller. Only two characters are seen onstage: the duke and the enamoured Judith, who despite being told not to, opens one locked door after another. These doors lead to the duke’s secrets, and his tormented soul.

”Naisella on oltava rahaa ja oma huone, jos hän aikoo kirjoittaa fiktiota.” Näin kirjoitti Virginia Woolf klassikossaan Oma huone 1929. Woolfin tekstiin pohjautuva esseenomainen A Room of One’s Own on naisten ooppera, ooppera naisista.

Se pohtii naisen roolia yhteiskunnassa, sitä, miksi naiset ovat jääneet miesten varjoon. Kuten Judith Shakespeare, veljensä Williamin kuvitteellinen sisar, joka on aivan yhtä lahjakas ja ahkera, mutta vailla uranäkymiä vain sukupuolensa takia.

Myyttinen tunnelma jatkuu illan toisessa kamarioopperassa. Herttua Siniparran linna on unenomainen psykologinen draama, johon unkarin kieli tuo vivahteikkaan soinnin.

Trilleri punotaan orkesterissa. Näyttämöllä on vain kaksi hahmoa, herttua ja rakastunut Judith, joka kielloista huolimatta avaa lukittuja oven toisensa perästä. Ovet ovat tie herttuan salaisuuksiin, tie hänen onnettomaan sieluunsa.
