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 psychological dramas offer a powerful introduction to the darker side of twentieth-century opera. You will encounter the chilling mystery of a locked room alongside a monumental retelling of a Greek tragedy, all delivered through music that feels as intense and immediate as a modern film score.
