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
These two twentieth-century masterpieces offer a double bill of psychological intensity and cinematic scale. You can expect a visceral evening that moves from the shadowy mystery of a gothic thriller to a monumental retelling of a Greek tragedy, all delivered through some of the most powerful orchestral writing in opera.
