Bluebeard's castle: - a tragedy of power and patriarchy.

New Internationalist | August 1, 1998| | Copyright

`I WANTED to depict a modern soul in the primary colours of folk-song,' is how Bela Balazs remembered his libretto for Bluebeard's Castle (1911). The result is a simmering musical volcano, a deep and thick thundercloud of condensed emotion.

Written when its composer Bela Bartok was just 30 years old, it is his only opera and, in its fluidity, untypical of his usual rugged, angular style. The action is pretty static and it has never been a stage favourite, but hour-long and with an uncomplicated storyline it is ideal to listen to at home and stage in one's mind.
