Ariane (Ariadne) is a curious and independent young woman, and the newly married sixth wife of the infamous Bluebeard. Soon after arriving at his castle, she discovers her husband’s five former wives locked in a room. Naturally, she decides to free them—yet they seem unwilling to renounce captivity...

Paul Dukas's Ariane et Barbe-Bleue , performed here as part of  Lyon’s "Femmes libres?" ("Free women?") Festival, features a libretto inspired by Charles Perrault’s famous tale and its stage adaptation by Maurice Maeterlinck. Stage director Àlex Ollé chose to stage this highly nuanced work in spite of and because of its contradictions and dualities: folktale and nightmare, reality and idealism. This opposition also plays out in the work’s symbolism: "Ariane is a free woman," says Ollé, "who wants both to proclaim her own freedom and to share it with other women. But the other women in the play come to symbolize submission and the renunciation of individual freedom." The action unfolds in two parallel planes, one real (Ariane and Bluebeard’s wedding) and the other fantastic (the protagonist’s subconscious).

The finished product is a bracingly contemporary work that calls our perceptions of liberty into question, with Alfons Flores’s captivating scenography magnified by the stunning talent of mezzo-soprano Katarina Karnéus.
