(1918)
An opera in one act by Bela Bartok (1881-1945) Libretto by BELA BALAZS starring with the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Sir Georg Solti
' If we go through life opening too many doors it may prove catastrophic - for knowing too much is as dangerous as knowing too little.' (YEHUDI MENUHIN )
The one opera that Bartok wrote is a powerful music drama on Duke Bluebeard's inescapable loneliness.
Introduced by Yehudi Menuhin

Directed by MIIKLOS SZINETAR A UNITEL production
For the best effect viewers with stereo Radio 3 should turn off TV sound and position their speakers on either side of the screen, but a few feet away. Stereo headphones provide a suitable alternative
