The National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain marks the start of its 70th anniversary by taking listeners on a musical journey into the mystical, the magical and the fantastical, culminating with Bartok's Duke Bluebeard's Castle. It is the first time the orchestra has presented a full length opera. The NYO are joined by members of the National Youth Theatre for a chilling tale of a determined young bride who uncovers the dark truth about her new husband. The performance is brought to life with lighting, acting and theatre conceived by director Daisy Evans.
