Bartók: Bluebeard’s Castle
A young woman. Her new husband. Her new house:
a dark, mysterious castle. What lurks behind seven
locked doors is the stuff of nightmares. Béla Bartók’s
haunting and thoroughly gripping masterwork
brings this one-act psycho-thriller to life. Semistaged and video-enhanced, this is a must-see
Marin Alsop/BSO production.

CLAUDIA MAHNKE

Marin Alsop pulls out all the stops for
our closing concert with one of her
signature works, Saint-Saëns Symphony
No. 3, “Organ.”Add to that the Beethoven
Violin Concerto with audience favorite
Gil Shaham, who will dazzle and charm us
with his virtuosity. This is a program that is
grand in every way—a fitting way to close
out the first season of our second century.
