RDS Canada and Against the Grain Theatre’s Contemporary Retelling of Bluebeard’s Castle Opera
29 March – 1 April, 2023
RDS Canada recently collaborated with Against the Grain Theatre as a community engagement partner for their production of Bluebeard’s Castle on 29 March – 1 April in Toronto. This production tells a love story of Duke Bluebeard and his wife Judith who is living young onset dementia. The story is performed by Canadian baritone Gerald Finley, and Swedish mezzo-soprano Charlotte Hellekant. An RDS Canada member was on-hand to speak to those in attendance about living with posterior cortical atrophy, and poems from There is So Much I Could Say (2022) were installed in the theatre lobby.
