| Description |
Based on Thomas Mann's novella, Britten's opera tells of the writer Eschenbach's fateful meeting with the Polish boy Tadzio while on holiday in Venice. What follows is a Summer of despair and longing. Britten's final work for the stage is definitely a masterpiece of the 20th century. |
