Description

After 26 years, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra is returning to Linz once again and, under the direction of Klaus Mäkelä, presents a program of dramatic intensity. Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No. 7 in D minor, a work of overwhelming power, opens the evening and unfolds its captivating dynamics. The second half features Béla Bartók’s "Duke Bluebeard’s Castle" in concert form—a dark, psychologically dense opera about the seven locked doors of the castle and the eerie secrets Judith, Bluebeard’s wife, seeks to uncover. Bartók’s music transforms the fairy-tale source material into a hauntingly beautiful soundscape.

The lead roles are taken by soprano Jennifer Johnston as Judith and bass-baritone Gerald Finley as Bluebeard. The performance will be in Hungarian with German surtitles. The concert is complemented by a prelude featuring young musicians from the Linz Music School, as well as a postlude with musical commentary and discussions in the foyer.
