The Turn of the Screw – Opera

The Turn of the Screw has been called the world's best ghost story. The vulnerability and innocence of two orphans is highlighted in an unpleasant context of control and the exercise of power. What is reality and what is imagination? How do we view testimonials and who owns the stories? Benjamin Britten turned Henry James’ short novel "The Turn of the Screw" into an exciting and ground-breaking opera. Directed by Annilese Miskimmon, artistic director of English National Opera in London.
