Live from the Royal Festival Hall

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts the Philharmonia Orchestra in their continuing exploration of the works of Bela Bartok titled 'Infernal Dance'.

Bartok's only opera Duke Bluebeard's Castle is a dark and sinister tale of love and death. The Duke invites his new bride Judith back to his castle where she opens seven doors in turn. Each door reveals a new horror - one a bloody torture chamber, another a garden where blood stains the leaves till finally the seventh door reveals Bluebeard's three former wives, who step forward to receive Judith into their eternal imprisonment.
