Bluebeard's Castle is a one act opera by
Béla Bartók and this Sydney Symphony production was the first time I had heard it. I was taken by surprise at how very moving it is. Bartók manages to convey how scary intimate relationships can be and the singers, particularly soprano Michelle DeYoung, added a human dimension that underscored the music.
If you are reading this and have the opportunity to see this production it is well worth the effort.
