Bluebeard’s Castle now on OperaVision

Bluebeard’s Castle (Opera of the Year 2024) by Béla Bartók can be seen on the streaming platform OperaVision!

Béla Bartók’s opera is a psychological thriller about how much truth love can endure. The musical piece tells the story of Judith who marries the mysterious Bluebeard. In her desire to get to know him, she cannot contain her curiosity. The overwhelming music, in which the Hungarian composer masterfully pulls open all the stops of the orchestra, does the rest.

‘Bluebeard’s Castle is about getting to know each other, wanting to know everything about each other and how that can lead to having to reveal parts of your inner self that you would prefer to keep secret from the other, maybe even from yourself.’ – director Kenza Koutchoukali

‘Bartók’s music is human, honest and direct’ – musical director Duncan Ward

Enjoy (once again) this impressive opera with top soloists Thomas Oliemans and Deirdre Angenent, directed by Kenza Koutchoukali and conducted by Duncan Ward, who has his Philzuid as the third character to shine on stage.

Bluebeard’s Castle can be seen on operavision.eu until November 9, 2025, 12.
