Summary
Welsh National Opera performs a double bill of Bartók’s Bluebeard's Castle and Stravinsky’s Oedipus Rex at the Wales Millennium Centre.
Why it's fantastic
This double bill pairs a chilling psychological thriller with a stark tragedy based on the ancient Greek myth. Between the lush orchestration of the hidden rooms and the haunting choral storytelling, these two short operas create a dark, cinematic evening that feels as much like a modern noir as a classical drama.
