Ep. 30: Bluebeard's Castle

We are super jazzed to talk about one of Naomi and Elspeth's favorite operas - BLUEBEARD'S CASTLE by Béla Bartók! Based on fairy tale sources, this is a seriously awesome stage work, and one could debate themes and layers of meaning all day long. Bluebeard has been rumored to have killed his former wives.
