Flawless tragedy, almost unbearable: Billy Budd at Glyndebourne

David Karlin, 11th August

You can view Britten’s Billy Budd as an opera about the failure of words. When the angelic sailor Billy is falsely accused by his superior office Claggart, his stammer prevents him from defending himself and he lashes out, fatally.
