Bluebeard’s Castle and Erwartung at the COC

Posted on May 10, 2026 by Edward Brain

I attended the May 8th, 2026 performance of the Canadian Opera Company‘s (COC) double bill production of Bluebeard’s Castle and Erwartung at the Four Seasons Centre. Bluebeard’s Castle is a ‘Symbolist opera’ by Béla Bartók while Erwartung is monodrama by Arnold Schönberg.

The production is directed by Robert Lepage, with a set by Michael Levine, and the COC Orchestra conducted by the COC’s Music Director, Johannes Debus.

The set is dark and a long hallway. It works well for both operas (although stage right remains dark during Erwartung.) The set doesn’t distract from either opera which is always a good thing in my books.
