MTT conducts Bartók’s Bluebeard's Castle
Thursday, Jun 21, 2012 8:00p
Davies Symphony Hall
San Francisco,
CA
MTT conducts a thrilling concert featuring Duke Bluebeard’s Castle, a one-act opera presented here semi-staged to help tell this extraordinary tale. When Bluebeard and his new wife arrive at his castle, she is intrigued by the many doors she finds. Will her discovery of their secret lead her to the same fate as those before her? Bartók’s use of Hungarian folksongs and strong orchestral colors paint a deeply wrought psychological portrait.
