In a world brutalised by conflict, one woman’s experience of horrific violence becomes the defining
moment of an era.
Benjamin Britten’s shattering chamber opera explores some of the darkest drives in the human
psyche – and what happens when power and war give them free rein.
In this contemporary new staging, Oliver Mears directs and Corinna Niemeyer conducts a cast
drawn from the Jette Parker Artists Programme and the Britten Pears Young Artist Programme.

The Rape of Lucretia by Britten, Sat 19 Nov 2022, From (2022/2022), Directed by Oliver Mears,, Conductor Corinna Niemeyer, Royal Opera House, London, United Kingdom
