Doors Open - 45 minutes prior to start IOpera, in collaboration with Melbourne Opera, presents Benjamin Britten's gripping setting of the classic tale by Henry James of strange goings-on in a remote English manor house. There, a young governess has been employed to care for two orphaned children, Flora and Miles, but she quickly discovers that nothing is quite as it first seems. As she struggles to protect the children from the increasingly sinister forces that seem surround them, her sense of what is real and what is not become thrillingly blurred. Starring some of Australia's most accomplished operatic performers, including Elena Xanthoudakis, Lee Abrahamsen, Robert Macfarlane and performed in the intimate surrounds of the Athenaeum Two Theatre, this is a theatrical and musical occasion not to be missed! Performed 'in season' alongside Gian Carlo Menotti's "The Old Maid and the Thief".
