SUMMARY:Welsh National Opera - Bluebeard's Castle and Oedipus Rex
DESCRIPTION:Welsh National Opera – Bluebeard’s Castle and Oedipus Rex\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Welsh National Opera – Bluebeard’s Castle and Oedipus Rex\n\n\n\nIn this powerful double bill\, two extraordinary works of the 20th century are brought together in a shared world of ritual\, mystery and psychological intensity. \n\n\n\nIn Bluebeard’s Castle\, Judith leaves everything behind to be with the enigmatic Duke Bluebeard.  \n\n\n\nShe soon discovers his home is filled with locked doors and as she demands each one be opened\, she uncovers not only the secrets of his past but something far more unsettling. As darkness gathers\, love and fear become impossible to separate. \n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		Welsh National Opera – Bluebeard’s Castle and Oedipus Rex\n\n\n\nIn the second half\, the same stark setting becomes the ancient city of Thebes for Oedipus Rex. A plague grips the land\, and its king is determined to uncover the truth behind it. As his search intensifies\, he is forced to confront a destiny he cannot escape. What begins as a quest for answers becomes a devastating revelation. \n\n\n\nGothic\, atmospheric and visually striking\, this unified staging draws powerful connections between two timeless myths. \n\n\n\nSung in Hungarian and Latin with surtitles in English and Welsh \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £15.00 \n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a transaction fee \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSaturday 21 November 2026 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n2 hours 5 minutes\, including an interval \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout New Theatre Oxford\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\nThere has been a theatre on George Street for almost 170 years.
