Summary
Welsh National Opera pairs Bartók’s Duke Bluebeard’s Castle with Stravinsky’s Oedipus Rex for a double bill at the Wales Millennium Centre.
Why it's fantastic
This pairing offers two stark perspectives on destiny and hidden secrets through some of the twentieth century’s most haunting music. You get the psychological tension of a locked-door mystery followed by a Greek tragedy, making it a powerful introduction to the darker, more theatrical side of the operatic stage.
