In a world brutalised by conflict, one woman’s experience of horrific violence becomes the defining moment of an era. A contemporary staging of Benjamin Britten’s shattering chamber opera which explores some of the darkest drives in the human psyche – and what happens when power and war give them free rein.

Directed by Oliver Mears, with Corinna Niemeyer conducting a cast from the Jette Parker Artists Programme and Britten Pears Young Artist Programme.
