The Composer ChroniclesS1E10: Be Wary - Bartók and Bluebeard's CastleBluebeard's Castle's haunting tale is just the surface of this psychological thriller, and while some modern productions don’t follow the original staging to a “t”, there are plenty of directors who jump at the chance to re-imagine this dark and sinister work.
