Bold City Opera Presents Bartók's Bluebeard's Castle
Some door should stay shut
BCO proudly presents an immersive production of Bartók's psychological drama set within the castle-like walls of Jacksonville's historic Riverside Church at Park and King
Tickets On Sale

Duke Bluebeard welcomes his new bride, Judith, into his isolated castle. Although Judith has heard the dreadful rumors regarding his previous wives( who have all disappeared mysteriously), she is excited to start her new life. Bluebeard warns her that the castle is not a happy place, and even offers her an opportunity to leave, but she still wishes to enter. Upon stepping into the grand octagonal hall, Judith notices it is a dark, cold place with no sunlight. Pitying him, she becomes insistent she will brighten his forbidding castle and will transform it with her love. 

“In a sense, we all are Bluebeards, in another sense we fill the role of Judith. The story is that of everyone’s life.”- Peter Bartók
