In his first appearance with the BBC SSO, distinguished Spanish conductor Josep Pons offers a dazzling visiting card in the shape of his great countryman Manuel de Falla’s flamenco-inspired ballet The Three Cornered Hat.
After the sultry heat of an Andalusian village, Bartók’s vivid retelling of the ancient tale of Bluebeard and his unfortunate wives takes us into an altogether darker, more ambiguous world. This gripping music-drama – yet another masterpiece from 1911 – moves from dark to light and back again, the dread secrets behind the castle’s seven doors unforgettably revealed in Bartók’s music.
Prelude: 6.45pm in the Recital Room
Writer and BBC Radio 3 broadcaster Stephen Johnson talks about Duke Bluebeard’s Castle, Bartók’s uniquely revealing one act opera, completed in 1911.
There will be no Coda after this concert.
