Reality or pure fantasy? Britten's chamber opera sets to music a series of distorted perceptions and fragmented memories. The ominous events pile up like the pieces of a puzzle that refuse to fit together. Britten expert Steuart Bedford conducts an impressive coproduction by the Royal Opera House Covent Garden and the Cologne Opera at the 1990 Schwetzingen Festival.
