Gerald Finley and Susan Bullock are two world-class artists who have performed at
all the major opera stages the world over.
Collectively, they have appeared at The Metropolitan Opera, the English National
Opera, the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Wiener Staatsoper, Canadian Opera
Company, Carnegie Hall, Opera North, La Scala, Sydney Opera, La Monnaie, Berlin
Staatsoper, and the Teatro Colón, to name but a few.
But they are also champions of unique new initiatives in the opera world and that
brings us to their latest project – a production of “Bluebeard’s Castle” with brand new
company Theatre of Sound.
The organization is founded by Daisy Evans and Stephen Higgins and is set to
launch on Nov. 4 with the Bartók opera. The work, which will be presented in co-
production with Opera Ventures, will tell the story of the opera through the lens of a
family living with dementia.
OperaWire had an opportunity to speak with Finley and Bullock about taking on this
famed opera with this new company.
