Bluebeard's Castle by Bartók, sab 08 ott 2022, Da (2022/2022), Diretto da Daisy Evans, Direttore d'orchestra Stephen Higgins, Kennesaw State University, Kennesaw, Stati Uniti

Bartok’s riveting one-act opera is given new life in this production from England’s Theatre of Sound. In a departure from the original folktale, a husband and wife deal with the implications of dementia. Instead of doors masking Bluebeard’s true soul, the audience encounters Judith’s fraught relationship with her memories and its effect on her husband. Sung in English in a newly-commissioned translation, the production features a stellar cast including internationally renowned singers Susan Bullock and Michael Mayes in the principal roles of Duke Bluebeard and Judith. Players from the Atlanta Opera Orchestra will be featured in a new chamber orchestration
