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.
