If Tim and the Cat Shepherd can’t set things right, nighttime will never be the same!

Renfield, a solicitor, makes a journey into Transylvania via stagecoach. He mentions his destination, Castle Dracula, to the locals who react with alarm.

After drinking drugged wine, Renfield collapses, still wearing the cross, and is bitten. Aboard ship, a now-enslaved Renfield laughs maniacally below as Drácula picks off the crew one by one. When the ship reaches England, he is the only living person found.

Directors: George Melford | Adult Horror | 1931 (USA) | Run time: 104 min. | Not Rated: NR | Studio: Universal Pictures

Drácula meets Dr. Seward and his family at the opera. Lucía is completely fascinated by him and that night becomes his victim. Professor Van Helsing is called in, and he recognizes the danger for what it is. He also realizes that Dr. Seward’s patient Renfield is somehow tied up in events. But soon after meeting the Doctor’s new neighbor, Van Helsing figures out that Drácula is a vampire—based on the fact that Drácula casts no reflection in the mirror. By now, Seward’s daughter Eva is falling under his spell. To her horror, she feels increasingly weak and also increasingly wild—at one point attacking her fiancé Juan. With Seward’s and Harker’s help, Van Helsing seeks to trap Drácula, who outwits them and escapes with Eva by seizing control of a nurse’s mind. They follow Renfield into Carfax Abbey—an act which ends with Drácula killing his slave by strangulation, and then tossing him from a tall staircase. Deep in the catacombs under Carfax, they find Drácula asleep and Eva still alive. Van Helsing drives a stake through the vampire’s heart, and as Eva and Harker leave, Van Helsing prays over Renfield’s body.

Opera Southwest: Bluebeard’s Castle with Doctor Atomic
2023-10-22 - 2023-10-29 | Roy E. Disney Center for Performing Arts: Albuquerque Journal Theatre, 1701 4th St SW, Albuquerque, NM, 87102
Oct. 22, 27 & 29
2:00 pm Sundays
7:30 pm Friday
Enter Bluebeard’s Castle if you dare!
Just in time for Halloween, Opera Southwest presents a double bill of thrills and chills! First, join us for Bartok’s chilling one-act opera, Bluebeard’s Castle. Then, dive into the psychological horror story of the Doctor Atomic Symphony, based on the Doctor Atomic opera by John Adams. This symphony tells the story of J. Robert Oppenheimer and the creation of the first successful atom bomb.
$22, $42, $63, $85, $105 with discounts for groups of 8 or more, anyone 30 years old and younger and Opera for All with a WIC or EBT card.

First on the bill, Bluebeard’s Castle, the story of Judith, the young new wife of the menacing Duke Bluebeard, who unlocks the seven forbidden doors in her husband’s castle and is eventually confronted by the women he has already loved and murdered.
This production has us working with two senior set artists from Meow Wolf: Lance Ryan McGoldrick and David Cudney. In this symbolist opera, each room is assigned a color. The two artists are working with the traditional themes while interpreting them using modern technology and their specialized skills. McGoldrick and Cudney have been collaborating for a decade and they’re bringing all their artistic experience to the scenic design of this production. They’re creating atmospheric effects, sculptures, and projections that will enhance the seven secret rooms as Judith insists on unlocking each door of her new husband’s castle.
Next up, the Doctor Atomic Symphony performed by the OSW opera orchestra with projections. In this atmospheric composition, Adams presents highlights from the full opera, with instrumental treatments of the story and themes.
“With the incredible interest in Oppenheimer unleashed by this summer’s blockbuster movie, Oppenheimer, Opera Southwest decided to revisit the music of the popular new opera by John Adams, Doctor Atomic, by presenting the Doctor Atomic Symphony on the opening program of our 51st season,” said Tony Zancanella, OSW Executive Director. “As a small & nimble company, we are sometimes able to pivot programmatically to meet a broader cultural moment.” “There are all of these striking thematic and symbolic cross-connections between these works, which delve deep into the psychology of their central subjects as they tackle dark and morally complex themes.” said Artistic Director Anthony Barrese.
Run time: 2 hours 30 minutes, including one intermission.

In her first films, Jaione Camborda chose to shoot in super-8 as a sign of identity, with confidence in the image, materiality and lyrical grain. Throughout her filmography, the filmmaker reflects from an ethnographic perspective on man’s relationship with the animal, violence, and the atavistic, as we see reflected in her pieces Proba de axilidade (2015), A rapa das bestas (2017) and Videogramas #4 (2022).

This powerful display of flamenco is framed around the poet Rudolfo “Corky” González’s seminal poem “Yo Soy Joaquín.” González wrote the poem in 1967 to express the struggle of a people and the need for a Chicano movement. Here, the poem appears to express shared identities and deepen the company’s and audiences’ interpretation of these repertory pieces. In 2004, just five years after Yjastros: The American Flamenco Repertory Company’s inception, Israel Galván choreographed Xicano Power on the company.
In titling the work, Galván chose a name representative of the people performing. By doing so, Galván acknowledged the importance of the people doing the art. We have chosen Xicano Power for the title of this performance, focusing again on the interpreters and the power that shapes who they are. Chicano identity and culture permeate the land and space that this company comes from. The choreographies presented in Xicano Power showcase flamenco’s incredible expressive range: explosive, elegant, raw, delightful, complex, beautiful; each piece as unique as its creator.
