Turn of the Screw, Royal Opera Linbury Studio, March 2026

This was a great disappointment. Ambiguity is the essence of this Benjamin Britten opera. Are the ghosts real or are they figments of the young governess’s imagination? A production may point one way or the other, but this one used clever lighting to simply make everything very spooky. It missed the ambiguity completely — see my review in The Article.
