The Turn of the Screw - Royal Ballet and Opera (2026) - The Turn of the Screw - Royal Ballet and Opera (2026), Natalie Abrahami

Description

New production.

Britten's chilling The Turn of the Screw comes to life in an atmospheric new staging created by Natalie Abrahami and Michael Levine. Bassem Akiki conducts the gripping and suspenseful score, whose fragmented themes reflect the Governess' growing disquiet, as she comes to uncover more about the children's behaviour – and what is prompting it. Claustrophobic, psychologically disturbing and even uncomfortably voyeuristic, this new production follows Billy Budd, Death in Venice and Peter Grimes in the cycle of Britten works from The Royal Opera.
