In ancient Rome, Lucretia is assaulted by the tyrannical prince Tarquinius, an outrage that shatters her life and sets the stage for his own downfall.
Written after the conclusion of the second world war and presented in a new production by ETO’s General Director, Robin Norton-Hale, Britten’s powerful and brutally relevant chamber opera depicts a world fragmented by violence, where the fate of a victim is exploited for political gain.
