BRITTEN:  Death in Venice

Conductor Martyn Brabbins

 

Britten’s last operatic masterpiece, compellingly adapted from Thomas Mann’s ironic novella, conveys not just the sights and sounds of Edwardian Venice but, through its distinguished novelist hero, Britten’s sense of his rich career nearing its end. In Philip Langridge and James Bowman, as Ashenbach and the Voice of Apollo, we are proud to field two soloists intimately associated with the work and, in Roderick Williams, as the variously comic and sinister personifications of Death, one who will surely become so. We are also delighted to welcome internationally-acclaimed conductor Martyn Brabbins, fresh from a production of this same opera at Opéra de Lyon.
