What is currently on at Grand Theatre and Opera House (V975)

Death in Venice

T1867170894
Gustav von Aschenbach, a novelist in crisis, leaves Munich for Venice in search of fresh inspiration. Aschenbach is captivated by the beauty both of the place and Polish boy Tadzio. Britten's sensual final opera is tinged with mortality, and an exotic orchestral score conveys the story to great dramatic effect.

Music	Britten
Lyrics	Myfanwy Piper (after Thomas Mann)
