Ariane Et Barbe Bleue

Paul Dukas' opera would make a wonderful pair with Offenbach´s Bluebeard, both available from Lyon Opera. The staging by Àlex Ollé from La Fura dels Baus marvellously hits the mood of librettist Maurice Maeterlinck while conductor Lothar Koenigs inspires the orchestra to deliver a wonderful post-romantic sound. With Katarina Karnéus, Lyon has found an Ariane difficult to top. Like in Offenbach´s Bluebeard she frees the imprisoned first five wives of the monster, but unlike Offenbach´s released ex-brides Maeterlinck opts for them to prefer captivity to freedom while Ariane will take hers.
