Bluebeard's Castle | 5th Door Reveal with Christian Van Horn and Sara Gartland

The new bride Judith (sung by Sara Gartland) makes her way into her husband’s castle. Bluebeard (sung by Christian Van Horn, Bass-baritone) worries that she is afraid and regrets her decision to marry him, but Judith assures him of her love. When she sees seven locked doors before her, Judith asks that they be opened to let in the sunlight and fresh air.
After persuading Bluebeard to open the first four locked doors-revealing his torture chamber, armory, treasury and secret garden-Judith opens the fifth door. To a huge swell in the orchestra, Bluebeard's vast domains are revealed. She is left breathless by the view. But her anxiety returns as the clouds turn the color of blood. Despite Bluebeard's attempts to distract her, Judith is firm in her resolve to reveal all the castle's-and Bluebeard's-secrets. She demands that the final two doors be opened…
Internationally acclaimed visual composer and Des Moines resident, Oyoram, has created a truly immersive theatrical experience where audiences can finally experience in vivid detail the treasures and terror lurking behind Bluebeard’s seven locked doors.
