Billy Budd. Adapted by E. M. Forster and Eric
Crozier from Herman Melville’s unfinished novella,
Britten’s 1951 opera on the persecution and
destruction of pure-hearted sailor Billy by a
predatory master-at-arms is a tragedy of ‘sexual
discharge gone evil’ in the Napoleonic Wars.
Jacques Imbrailo sings the title-role, with Brindley
Sherratt as the sinister Claggart and Mark
Padmore as the rule-bound Pontius Pilate figure,
Captain ‘Starry’ Vere.Tickets £14 - £57.
