American conductor Karina Canellakis returns to lead a concert performance of Béla Bartók’s chilling and evocative opera Bluebeard’s Castle. Based on the fable of the cruel duke whose new wife discovers his terrible past, the opera features some of Bartók’s most riveting orchestral writing. Scottish mezzo-soprano Karen Cargill returns and German bass-baritone Johannes Martin Kränzle makes his BSO debut. Also returning to the BSO stage is American cellist Alisa Weilerstein performing Joseph Haydn’s playful Cello Concerto in C.

Karina Canellakis conducts Haydn and Bartók

Beethoven’s only opera follows the story of Leonore, a woman who disguises herself as a man to go undercover into the very prison where she suspects her husband is being held as a political prisoner. As she descends deeper into the prison’s cells, she uncovers a sinister plot of abuse and oppression.
