Bartók’s only opera is an intense drama, involving only two characters and underpinned by a rich orchestral score. Bluebeard’s young bride persuades him to open seven doors in his castle to let the light in. Behind each door she finds increasingly disturbing sights, until the final door opens to reveal the castle’s secret and her fate.Composer BartokConductor Valery GergievPerformer London Symphony OrchestraSoloists Elena Zhidkova, Sir Willard White Show more
