Chamber Opera

Brava! Opera Theater and James M. Collier Young Artist Program presents The Turn of the Screw by Benjamin Britten directed by Willene Gunn with Conductor, Laurie Anne Hunter. Celebrating the 100th anniversary of Britten?s birth, The Turn of the Screw, is a haunting operatic masterpiece set in the Victorian era and regarded by many as the finest of his stage works. Based on a Henry James novel, Britten?s last chamber opera tells the tale of a young governess who accepts a job caring for two children on a bucolic country estate. When ghosts of the former governess and man servant begin to appear, their peaceful existence is shattered and turns into a chilling struggle for the lives of the children. The opera will be performed in English and will feature a richly talented national cast of professional opera singers and instrumentalists.
