Nina Stemme and Johannes Martin Kränzle are the soloists in dramatic production of Bartók’s one-act opera Bluebeard’s Castle, conducted by Music Director Jaap van Zweden. Also on the program is an equally dark work composed in the same year: Schoenberg’s apprehensive monodrama Erwartung. Alec Baldwin is your host on The New York Philharmonic This Week.
