Billy Budd by Britten from Glyndebourne Festival Opera, performed at Glyndebourne Festival Theatre, Glyndebourne, 2010. Directed by Michael Grandage, conductor Mark Elder. Starring John Mark Ainsley (Captain Vere), Jacques Imbrailo (Billy Budd) and Philip Ens (Claggart).

Staged by Michael Grandage and directed by Mark Elder, Billy Budd was a 2000 Glyndebourne Festival's production. A wonderful production with Jacques Imbrailo in the leading role, now on medici.tv.

Glyndebourne has a proud association with the operas of Benjamin Britten, but until 2010 had never staged Billy Budd. The all-male opera with a libretto co-written by E.M. Forster, is based on the battle between pure good and blind evil, and is set on a British man-o'-war ship. Michael Grandage, former Artistic Director of the Donmar Warehouse, chose this work to make his long-awaited operatic debut. Sir Mark Elder returned to conduct, marking the 100th opera production in his illustrious career.

Billy Budd is the Opera of the Month for March 2022.

An award-winning opera debut from British theatre director Michael Grandage.
