About
Benjamin Britten's hauntingly beautiful chamber opera combines atmospheric evocation of the East Anglian Fens with influences of Japanese Noh theatre. A woman driven mad by the death of her son finds peace as the result of the chance encounter with a ferryman on a Fenland river. This staged performance presents this tale of healing and redemption in the perfect setting.
