The Rape of Lucretia Britten

Public

Approved

In Russia, the opera The Desecration of Lucretia was staged for the first time by the Saint Petersburg Opera. The opera is performed in English, conveying the poetic beauty of Britten's amazing music.
Referring to the ancient plot in the opera The Desecration of Lucretia (the suicide of the noble Roman woman Lucretia, dishonored by the king's son Tarquinius), Benjamin Britten created the image of his era, being impressed by the horrors of the Second World War.
The director Yuri Alexandrov acts in a similar way, addressing his contemporaries in his performance.
He and She are commentators of old events, personification of male and female choirs in the ancient theater. But, in addition, they are both refugees, thrown out of their homes by the cruelty of the modern world. Their bitter fate echoes what is happening in the depths of the stage and in the mists of time.
The sophistication of the stage metaphors combined with the strict beauty of the music makes this performance an exclusive property of the St. Petersburg Opera Theater.
