If you already know Duke Bluebeard’s Castle, you’re
probably not going to find a better concert version. The usual problem with
this opera is that it’s all about a creepy house and that is very difficult to
stage in a concert hall. All you can do is listen to the music and try to
imagine it. Most concert halls aren’t creepy at all – they’re new and posh and
really comfortable. It really is all down to the singers, conductor and
orchestra.
