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 pairing offers a masterclass in psychological tension, moving from the dark, hidden secrets of a gothic mansion to the inevitable tragedy of a Greek myth. It is a rare chance to experience two twentieth-century landmarks in one evening, providing a visceral introduction to the power of modern operatic storytelling.
