CONTENT COURTESY STATE OPERA SOUTH AUSTRALIA
Benjamin Britten’s iconic opera based on the Henry James gothic novel is one of the pillars of 20th century opera.
It is the tale of a Governess, her two young wards, and the terrible and terrifying secrets of a manor house in the English countryside.
Internationally acclaimed Australian soprano Rachelle Durkin stars as The Governess – a naïve and principled young woman brought undone by mysterious forces hellbent on her destruction. Kanen Breen – one of opera’s most commanding dramatic forces is Peter Quint, her nemesis.
Supported by an all-Australian cast including Elizabeth Campbell and Fiona McArdle and the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Anthony Hunt.
Directed by Stuart Maunder and designed by Roger Kirk, this is a once in a generation experience – don’t miss it.
