Reduction: The Rape of Lucretia Britten

Public

The Rape of Lucretia

Approved

The Rape of Lucretia is the first of Britten’s “chamber operas,” which he envisioned as bold, ambitious works composed on a relatively small scale for intimate settings - the perfect opera to be performed in 'Pocket size'. The opera revolves around a bet made between three Roman officers, Collatinus, Junius, and Prince Tarquinius, while they are at war with Greece. With themes still pertinent in today's society, this gem is not to be missed!
