Bluebeard's Castle and Erwartung
May. 17th, 2015 10:32 pmI saw Bluebeard's Castle and Erwartung (a double-bill opera) last last week. This was going to be my catch-up post, but I think just talking about the operas is going to be quite long. I also saw Age of Ultron two weeks ago and still haven't written about it.
( Bluebeard's Castle )
After the intermission I saw Erwartung, which is by Schoenberg.
( Now Erwartung )
Tonally, in subject and focus and everything, they were a complete 180 from the Barber of Seville, which I watched just a few weeks before that, which I loved to pieces. Of course, since I had two tickets for each opera, I managed to take the friend who likes Wagner to Barber of Seville, and the newbie to opera to Bluebeard's Castle/Erwartung *facepalm*
