Bartok and the Stage
' If Bluebeard's Castle can be called Bartok's Pelléas, and The Wooden Prince his
Firebird, then perhaps it's not too fanciful to think of the pantomime
The Miraculous Mandarin as his Lulu.'
Max Loppert considers the composer's three stage works, drawing comparisons, pointing contrasts and illustrating his talk with recordings conducted by SIR GEORG SOLTI , PIERRE BOULEZ , ISTVAN KERTESZ , JANOS FERENCSIK and ANTAL DORATI. Producer

The play is inspired by one of the legends of ancient Ireland - The Cattle Raid of Cooley which was recorded in the 12th century by a monk at the monastery of Clonmacnoise. The characters of the legend, Queen Maeve, her husband Ailill, her lover Fergus, and the Mad Cuckoo - an extraordinary interpretation of the hero Cuchulain - invade Ulster during the Pope's visit to Ireland in 1979.
