Bartók’s claustrophobic parable Bluebeard’s Castle calls for two characters who sing, ominously, plus three who don’t, equally ominously. The opera is paired on this occasion with the Finnish premiere of Outi Tarkiainen’s chamber opera A Room of One’s Own, drawn from Virginia Woolf’s trail-blazing feminist manifesto. The double bill is performed by Theater Hagen, the regional German company that commissioned and premiered the new piece by Tarkiainen, who is Finnish. (You won’t be surprised to learn that she is a woman. “Music, at best,” Tarkiainen has said, “is like a force of nature, which floods and fills a person and can change entire destinies.”) As readers of Woolf will remember, a central figure in the carpet is Judith Shakespeare, no less talented than her brother William but sentenced to silence because she is a woman. The crosstalk between Woolf’s characters and Bartók’s immured wives promises to be creepy in the extreme. —Matthew Gurewitsch
