Approved

Bartok’s hour-long opera is as taut and gripping as a thriller, but it resists easy categorisation.

At once a study of an obsessive, violent man and an allegory of the battle of the sexes, Bluebeard’s Castle is a powerful psychodrama that incites thought as well as suspense. Visually striking videographic staging keep it lodged in the memory.

The production is a two-hander, with award-winning Welsh soprano Natalya Romaniw singing Judith and Canadian baritone John Relyea, one of today’s finest basses, as Bluebeard. It is conducted by Martyn Brabbins, ENO’s Director of Music.
