Deborah Warner's English National Opera production of Britten's final opera celebrates the composer's centenary year. Two unspoken themes run throughout this much-admired work: the impossible passion that a troubled writer forms for a fellow hotel guest, and the cholera epidemic which the authorities are all too keen to hush up. Britten revisits the subject of corruption of youth and innocence that so fascinated him and delivers a haunting theatrical experience of consummate power.

Starring John Graham-Hall (Aschenbach), Andrew Shore (baritone roles) and Tim Mead (Voice of Apollo). This production reunites Warner with conductor and ENO music director Edward Gardner. (Sung in English; running time: two hours 55 mins.)
