BRITTEN The Rape of Lucretia, Op 37

Composed in the wake of the Second World War, Britten’s first chamber opera confronts the violence and trauma of a Roman myth with a score of passionate lyricism, eerie intimacy and expressive richness. This new production embraces the themes of the original but sets them in a more contemporary world, in which not everything has changed for the better.
