First staged a month after VE Day, Britten’s searing psychological drama set in a claustrophobic Suffolk fishing community was the critical and popular success that effectively established a new kind of English operatic tradition. ENO has kept the opera at the heart of its repertoire and tonight’s concert performance is based on a sold-out production hailed as a ‘superb company achievement’ on its first outing in 2009. Australian tenor Stuart Skelton once again heads the cast with his remarkable, multifaceted portrayal of the disturbed outsider.
