“A tale as taut as a violin string.”

This haunting ghost story will have you on the edge of your seat.  

Based on a Henry James story, it starts simply enough.  A governess accepts the charge of caring for two young children in the country.  But when the ghosts begin to appear, that simplicity is shattered.  

Scene by chilling scene, we’re drawn deeper…until the tale tightens into a struggle for the very lives of the children.

Step by step, it winds tighter, notch by notch . . . until the final snap!

No one does this better than Britten.  Intense, evocative music draws you in, and then drives you right to the edge.

Sung in English with projected lyrics.

Performances held at the Keller Auditorium.
