Béla Bartók’s Bluebeard’s Castle fits the bill: it is a one-act opera for two voices, a man and a woman; it has a palpable dramatic intensity inside a complex musical structure; it is a poetic sphere that explores the complexity of human relations and the search for the other based on one’s own desires, that ultimately leads to loss. This contemporary work presents us with a metaphor for human relationships, where our desire to connect with the other feeds our fear of losing our own identity.
