The Turn of the Screw, English National Opera, Oct 2024
Posted on 15 October 2024This new production is by someone who has previously made her name as a stage designer, and I found the designs too clever by half. The key to this opera is ambiguity, but this was absent. The mystery of the story however was heard in the excellent performance of Britten’s music and the carefully crafted libretto by Myfanwy Piper. See my review in The Article.
