June 19: Bluebeard’s Castle
Based on a French folk tale, Bluebeard’s Castle is a one-act opera by Hungarian composer Bela Bartok who has given the adaption a heavy psychological reworking. Set in a huge, dark hall of a castle with seven locked doors, the opera portrays a gloomy, inhumane and mysterious man, his personal suffering and his reluctance to reveal the inner secrets of his soul.

Melodious, heartfelt, beautiful, wry, wistful, folk-tinged pop are words that have been used to describe Kerr’s music. Although echoes of Belle & Sebastian, Paul Simon, Neil Halstead, Kings of Convenience and many other artists resonate, Ally’s style is distinctive and he’s been described as one of “Scotland’s brightest rising stars” with three albums under his belt: Calling Out To You, Off The Radar and the latest, Viva Melodia – Kerr’s most ambitious album to date.
