Victorian Opera brings Benjamin Britten's atmospheric chamber opera The Turn of the Screw, based on the Henry James ghost story, to the Palais Theatre stage. Expect a tightly staged production that leans on Britten's unsettling, tension-filled score to build a genuinely eerie atmosphere, supported by a small but skilled cast and orchestra suited to the opera's chamber format. It's a good choice for opera fans looking for something darker and more dramatically driven than the standard repertoire, as well as newcomers curious about twentieth-century opera. The Palais's acoustics and scale offer a fitting setting for a work built around slow-building dread rather than spectacle.
