No sooner does one door close than another seven open… Hot on the heels of Scottish Opera’s new production of Bartók’s chilling Duke Bluebeard’s Castle, conductor Iván Fischer brings his Budapest band to London for a concert performance with mezzo-soprano Ildikó Komlósi as Judith and bass Krisztián Cser as the inscrutable Bluebeard. Folksongs, orchestral and unaccompanied, set the scene.
