Bluebeard's Castle
Sung in Hungarian with English surtitles
“Visually stunning and its singing and music are nothing less than sublime.” - The Arts Review
“a masterpiece, a musical geyser of sixty minutes of compressed tragedy” - Zoltán Kodály, 1921
Bluebeard and his new wife Judith are drawn into the darkness. Once they enter his castle and the gates are closed, there is no turning back. They must both continue further, but the landscape he’s made is made of blood...
“Paula Murrihy as Judith is a marvel to behold” - GoldenPlec
“Bloom was a tormented Bluebeard, with a wonderfully dark bass.” - Bachtrack
