The action takes place in the hall of Duke Bluebeard’s castle, his new wife Judith opens the hall’s seven doors one by one, each revealing its own horror.

Bartók’s only opera is widely regarded as his masterpiece. In only one act he creates an extraordinary atmosphere with astonishing theatrical power. Some say this bloodthirsty psychodrama invites us to explore the hidden recesses of our own imaginations...

The opera will be sung in English with no interval and wine served beforehand.

Catherine Backhouse (mezzo-soprano) and Elspeth Wyllie (piano) present a rare chance to enjoy an entire programme of music written by women.

Critic George Upton wrote in 1880 that women were too emotionally volatile for the exact science of composition and should only serve as mothers and muses of great men. Against such opposition it is remarkable that so many songs of great quality and beauty exist and a shame that many remain on the fringes on standard repertoire.

Catherine and Elspeth have crafted a varied programme of their favourite songs by composers including Clara Schumann, Rebecca Clarke, Amy Beach, Thea Musgrave and Pauline Viardot.
