Please note: following the government's advice that people should not go to pubs, clubs, theatres and other venues, Wilton's will be closing for the foreseeable future. We will reopen neither as a theatre nor bar before the end of March. All bookers for The Turn of the Screw will be contacted. More information here.
After the great success of
their inaugural production of The Rake’s
Progress at Wilton’s in 2017, OperaGlass Works returns with The Turn of the Screw. An opera in two
acts by Benjamin Britten with libretto by Myfanwy Piper after the story by
Henry James.
John Wilson, ‘one of the
finest musicians around’, will conduct his handpicked ensemble of 13
exceptional musicians.
Mesmerising and
compelling, The Turn of the Screw, as
it pronounces in the Prologue, is ‘a curious story, written in faded ink.’ Set in an old English country house, the
housekeeper and two young orphaned children welcome an eager new governess when
she arrives from London to look after them and a ghostly tale unfolds. This haunting, ambiguous telling of innocence
and corruption is one of the major works of the 20th century and Wilton’s is
the perfect place to tell it.
