Byre Opera, Berwick Festival Opera

Completing its sequence of Britten’s Chamber operas, following acclaimed productions of The Rape of Lucretia and Albert Herring, University of St Andrews’ in-house opera company once again joins forces with director Tania Holland Williams in The Turn of the Screw: a spine tingling adaption of the Henry James ghost story, where innocence falters and a malign shadow dominates.

Ripe with malicious intent and an irresolute heroine, this is opera at its most gripping.

A chamber orchestra of leading Scottish musicians will be conducted by Michael Downes.
