Curlew River: Teatro Real
Lo spettacolo
Benjamin Britten's 'Curlew River', which he called a 'Parable for Church Performance' premieres at Teatro Real in Netia Jones' extraordinary multi‐media staging, with tenor Ian Bostridge in the starring role.
Next to the Curlew River, the protagonist of Britten's opera lives a live on the margins of society. The Madwoman is in search of her missing child. 'Curlew River' marked Britten's departure from tonal composition. Influenced by Japanese Noh theater, all roles are scored for male singers.
