A kékszakállú herceg vára Bartók (+1 More)

The National Opera presents in a modular performance two great operatic one-acts, on March 9, 12, 19, 24, 2023, under the musical direction of Vassilis Christopoulos. On the stage of the Stavros Niarchos Hall, the dark, bloody masterpiece "O Pyrgos tou Kyanopogon" will meet the light, cheerful farce "Zanni Skikki". Bela Bartók's Cyanopogon Tower, directed by Themelis Glynatsis, is based on the fairy tale of the same name by Charles Perrault. Rarely condensed and emotionally intense, the opera includes just two characters, Cyanopogonus and Judith. As she wants to know about her husband's past, Judith opens the seven doors of Cyanopogon's castle one by one. Behind each she discovers a different world, the untold riches, heroism and glory of her husband, but also pain, tears, blood and cruelty. Giacomo Puccini's Gianni Scicchi, directed by John Fuljames and a revival directed by Angela-Cleopatra Saroglou, is a black comedy bordering on the grotesque. Forzano's poetic text is based on an episode from Dante's Divine Comedy. After the death of a rich man, the four-legged Gianni Scicchi helps the relatives of the deceased, but above all of course himself, to get hold of the great inheritance. Detailed information: the four-legged Gianni Scicchi helps the relatives of the deceased, but above all of course himself, to put the great inheritance in hand.
