EVENT INFORMATION

Henry James’ gothic novella has spooked generations of readers with this chilling tale of a governess, the children in her ward, and sinister forces that may — or may not — be tormenting them. 

Benjamin Britten’s 1954 adaptation dials up the suspense and leaves you questioning everything you have just witnessed.

In a haunting production by Stuart Maunder, the scale of this chamber opera is both intimate and immense. Nothing is what it seems in the eerie setting of an English manor home, strikingly conjured by Tony Award-winning designer Roger Kirk.

Conductor and Britten specialist Paul Kildea leads Orchestra Victoria and a star cast, headed by soprano Rachelle Durkin as the terrorised governess and tenor Kanen Breen as the ghostly presence, Peter Quint. 

Prepare for a spine-tingling night at opera
