'Duke Bluebeard’s Castle', Bartók, (sung in Hungarian, with English surtitles)
Performance NotesFrom light into darkness: Beethoven’s ebullient, Symphony No. 7 – ‘glorious wine for the human spirit’ – gives way to the shadows and horrors of Barto´k’s Duke Bluebeard’s Castle. Iva´n Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra bring Hungary’s greatest opera to the Royal Albert Hall. The legend of Bluebeard and his young wife Judith – whose persistent curiosity forces the Duke to reveal the secrets hidden behind the locked doors of his castle – comes to idiomatic life in the hands of a Hungarian cast.
