Gothic Opera presents Hungarian composer Bela Bartok’s psychologically fraught opera Bluebeard’s Castle - deconstructed.

As Judith, Bluebeard’s new wife, opens forbidden doors, she uncovers his secrets… room by mysterious room. 

​

As you tour the sinister castle with Judith, you’ll see digital animations by students of Ravensbourne University and hear the voices of Gothic Opera’s singers - Simon Wilding, Alexandra Long, Beatrice de Larragoiti, Charlotte Osborn and Alice Usher - performing live.

​

This sense-stimulating tour of Bluebeard’s castle was brought to virtual life by the pandemic as part of the Neverthere @ Surge festival, 4 July 2020. Please note that this video has flashing imagery.
