Events Description
Never before seen on the COC mainstage, The Turn of the Screw signals the arrival of one of the most chilling and psychologically charged operas of the 20th century.
Benjamin Britten’s eerie masterpiece draws audiences into a world where innocence, desire, and terror fatally blur and what begins as a tale of duty and care soon descends into nightmarish obsession.
Louisa Muller’s acclaimed production brings the haunted country estate of Henry James’ 1898 novella to vivid and unsettling life, delicately moving through the story’s shifting uncertainties: are the ghosts real, or do they spring from the fevered imagination of the Governess?
The Turn of the Screw is more than a ghost story—it is an exploration of innocence corrupted, perception unmoored, and fear made flesh. The result is opera at its most riveting: beautiful, terrifying, and impossible to forget.
