# Event Details - **Event Name**: Bluebeard’s Castle + Oedipus Rex - Cardiff | Caerdydd - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 20 Sep, 2026 at 04:00 pm – Sun, 20 Sep, 2026 at 06:15 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: In this powerful double bill, two extraordinary works of the 20th century are brought together in a shared world of ritual, mystery and psychological intensity. In Bluebeard’s Castle, Judith leaves everything behind to be with the enigmatic Duke Bluebeard. She 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. In 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. Gothic, atmospheric and visually striking, this unified staging draws powerful connections between two timeless myths. Running time two hours and five minutes including one interval Sung in Hungarian and Latin with surtitles in English and Welsh - Yn y rhaglen ddwbl bwerus hon, mae dau ddarn o waith eithriadol o’r 20fed ganrif yn dod at ei gilydd mewn byd cyffredin o ddefod, dirgelwch a dwyster seicolegol. Yn Bluebeard’sCastle, mae Judith yn gadael popeth ar ôl er mwyn bod gyda’r Dug Bluebeard enigmatig. Mae’n darganfod yn fuan bod ei dŷ'n llawn drysau clo ac wrth iddi fynnu bod pob un yn cael ei agor, mae'n dadlennu nid yn unig cyfrinachau ei orffennol, ond rhywbeth llawer mwy cythryblus. Wrth iddi nosi, mae’n amhosibl gwahanu cariad ac ofn. Yn yr ail hanner, daw'r un gosodiad llwm yn ddinas hynafol Thebes ar gyfer OedipusRex. Mae pla'n lledaenu drwy'r wlad, ac mae’r brenin yn benderfynol o ddatgelu'r gwir y tu ôl iddo. Wrth i'w chwilio ddwysáu, mae’n cael ei orfodi i ddod wyneb yn wyneb â ffawd nad yw’n gallu ei hosgoi. Daw’r hyn sy'n dechrau fel mynd ar drywydd atebion yn ddatgeliad torcalonnus. Mae’r perfformiad unedig, gothig a llawn awyrgylch hwn yn weledol drawiadol ac yn creu cysylltiadau pwerus rhwng dwy chwedl fythol. Mae'n para am ddwy awr a phum munud gan gynnwys un egwyl Caiff ei ganu yn Hwngareg a Lladin gydag uwchdeitlau Cymraeg a Saesneg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/cardiff/bluebeards-castle-oedipus-rex-cardiff-caerdydd/200030506378417 - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 3 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Cardiff - **state**: WA - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Wales Millennium Centre - Canolfan Mileniwm Cymru - **lat**: 51.464878378254 - **long**: -3.1633704900742 - **full address**: Wales Millennium Centre - Canolfan Mileniwm Cymru, Wales Millennium Centre, Bute Place,Cardiff, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Bluebeard’s Castle + Oedipus Rex - Cardiff | Caerdydd - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/19a034bc8dd11601128375f5f615faae2bbd33d74b3d778db6256fc56d339d10-rimg-w1000-h486-dc585868-gmir?v=1787075905 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Bluebeard s Castle + Oedipus Rex - Cardiff | Caerdydd being held? - **A:** Bluebeard s Castle + Oedipus Rex - Cardiff | Caerdydd takes place on Sun, 20 Sep, 2026 at 04:00 pm to Sun, 20 Sep, 2026 at 06:15 pm at Wales Millennium Centre - Canolfan Mileniwm Cymru, Wales Millennium Centre, Bute Place,Cardiff, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Bluebeard s Castle + Oedipus Rex - Cardiff | Caerdydd? - **A:** Bluebeard s Castle + Oedipus Rex - Cardiff | Caerdydd is organized by Welsh National Opera Cenedlaethol Cymru. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
