SYNOPSIS
A governess arrives at an English country house to care for two children, but quickly learns everything is not as it seems. Can she keep the children safe from whatever lurks in the dark corners of the grounds? Based on the mid-19th century horror novella by Henry James, Benjamin Britten’s opera adaptation will have you gripping the edge of your seat.
