This October, step into Britten’s haunting chamber opera: a chilling psychological thriller where innocence meets the uncanny. Set in a remote English estate, The Turn of the Screw follows a young governess, two mysterious children, and a spiral of ghostly suspicion. With its hypnotic twelve-tone score and gothic beauty, this opera will leave you questioning reality long after the music fades.
