Experience Benjamin Britten’s masterstroke of a horror opera at the Old Stage

A young governess arrives at a remote estate, where she is to oversee the upbringing of two orphans on behalf of their wealthy uncle, who wishes no contact with neither the governess nor the children. 

The housekeeper, Mrs. Grose, and the two children warmly welcome the young woman, who soon settles in. But during a walk in the park, she discovers that an unknown man is watching her from the estate ... Britten’s eerie opera is based on the 1898 novella by Henry James in which hidden demons and unredeemed souls lurk beneath the surface in the form of a ghost or two.

Taking centre stage is the Royal Danish Opera’s ensemble of soloists: Léonie Sonning Talent Award-winning young soprano Clara Cecilie Thomsen embodies the role of the governess, Johanne Bock plays the housekeeper, and Gisela Stille the restless Miss Jessel. The Turn of the Screw is staged by young British opera director Anthony Almeida, who together with set and costume designer Rosanna Vize won the European Opera-Directing Award 2021 for their concept for this particular staging of Britten’s chamber opera. 

The Turn of the Screw is performed in English with Danish supertitles. 

In collaboration with Opera Europa/Camerata Nuova.

Oplev Benjamin Brittens mesterværk af en gyseropera på Gamle Scene

En ung guvernante ankommer til et afsides beliggende gods, hvor hun skal varetage to forældreløse børns opdragelse på vegne af deres velhavende onkel, som ikke ønsker nogen kontakt med guvernanten og børnene. 

Husholdersken, Mrs. Grose, og de to børn tager hjerteligt imod den unge kvinde, som falder godt til. Men under en gåtur i parken opdager hun, at en ukendt mand betragter hende oppe fra godset ... Brittens uhyggelige opera er baseret på Henry James’ kortroman fra 1898, hvor der under overfladen lurer skjulte dæmoner og uforløste sjæle i skikkelse af et spøgelse eller to. 

I front står Den Kongelige Operas ensemblesolister: Den Léonie Sonning Talentpris-belønnede unge sopran Clara Cecilie Thomsen synger guvernanten, Johanne Bock er husholdersken, og Gisela Stille er den hvileløse Miss Jessel.

Skruen strammes bliver iscenesat af den unge, britiske instruktør Anthony Almeida, der sammen med scenograf og kostumedesigner Rosanna Vize vandt førsteprisen i Opera Europas instruktørpris 2021 for deres koncept til netop denne iscenesættelse af Brittens musikdramatiske perle. 

Skruen strammes synges på engelsk med danske overtekster.

I samarbejde med Opera Europa/Camerata Nuova.
