Synopsis

Continuing Hannu Lintu’s inaugural concert series, this programme explores the expressive breadth of orchestral and operatic storytelling. Richard Strauss’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra opens with an incandescent sunrise, a symphonic reflection on humanity, purpose, and destiny. From the light of knowledge, we descend into shadow with Bartók’s Bluebeard’s Castle, a chilling tale of curiosity, desire, and doom, brought to life through the supernatural textures of his one-act opera. Award-winning Chinese bass-baritone Shenyang (沈洋, BBC Cardiff Singer of the World 2007) and English mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnston (Royal Philharmonic Society Singer of the Year 2021) take on the roles of Duke Bluebeard and the ill-fated Judith, drawing audiences into their dark, suspenseful story. Seven great doors shut tight, and none shall see what is behind them. Do you dare open one?
