BY BELLA BARTOK

Paper Project

2019

Bluebeard's Castle is a one-act expressionist opera. 

 

Young Judith leaves her family flees with Bluebeard to his castle. When they enter the castle, Judith plans to make improvements on the dark and generally dreary home the lovers will share. Bluebeard instructs her not to open any of the seven doors in the castle, but she is insistent. Against Bluebeard’s wishes she continues to open doors, ultimately revealing various aspects of Bluebeard’s past.
