Event details
Judith follows Bluebeard into his dark castle. Believing she can illuminate it with her love, she gets him to gradually unlock all the hidden rooms for her and discovers the torture chamber, the armory, the magic garden, the treasure chamber and the countryside. The castle is now bright, but there is also blood behind all the doors. In vain, Bluebeard warns Judith about the last two doors. So she finds the lake of tears and behind the last door Bluebeard's former wives, frozen in eternal beauty. Judith now also becomes one of them, the doors close again and Bluebeard remains lonely in his dark castle. "Duke Bluebeard's Castle," Béla Bartók's only opera, is rich in profound symbolism. First performed in Budapest in 1918, the "mystery in one act" is considered the most intense and at the same time disillusioning relationship drama in all of opera literature. The composer Eberhard Kloke has created a new, reduced orchestral version. After Dieter Kaegi's successful production in Francis O'Connor's set had to be cancelled after only a few performances due to a pandemic, it now returns to the TOBS stage. Yannis Pouspourikas is the musical director.
