Bluebeard's Castle Op. 11

Album by Béla Bartók & Cornelia Kallisch & Radio‐Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart des SWR & Péter Eötvös

Bluebeard's Castle, Op. 11 is a one-act opera by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, composed in 1911 and first performed in 1918. The work blends late-Romantic orchestral colours with early modernist dissonance and modal, folk-influenced elements to create a compact, psychologically driven score that marks a key early stage in Bartók's development and in the emergence of 20th-century operatic modernism.
