Conductor:
Lionel Friend

Background: This innovative production of Britten's first chamber opera, The Rape of Lucretia is a fine example of the exciting and imaginative work that is characteristic of the English National Opera. The bare scrubbed boards, its sliding screens and severe designs have a cool, elegant simplicity.

This ascetic production tellingly matches the austere restraint of the Britten opera, scored with sparse texture for a mere twelve instruments, a limitation over which Britten triumphed to produce music of deeply moving intensity.
