THE TURN OF THE SCREW

THE TURN OF THE SCREW by Benjamin Britten

A remote estate in the English countryside. A new Governess arrives to care for two enchanting children.

But all is not as it seems. An evil lurks at Bly, which the Governess must confront or risk losing the children forever…

Northern Ireland Opera are delighted to revive their spine-tingling production of Benjamin Britten’s The Turn of the Screw following hugely successful performances during both its 2012 Northern Irish tour and subsequently at the Buxton Opera House and the Kolobov Novaya Opera Theatre in Moscow.

A gripping story based on the classic tale of the supernatural by Henry James, this highly acclaimed production is directed by Oliver Mears with the Ulster Orchestra conducted by Nicholas Chalmers, and stars an outstanding cast, including Belfast-born Giselle Allen (Tosca, Salome).
