The Turn of the Screw: The Turn of the Screw Britten

The ceremony of innocence has gone down" - this ominous quote from the famous poem The Second Coming by Irish poet William Butler Yeats opens the second act of Benjamin Britten's opera The Turn of the Screw , providing a kind of key to its interpretation. The libretto of the work was based on a short story by Henry James, full of understatements and symbols. A new governess arrives at Bly's mansion to look after orphaned siblings, Miles and Flora. However, does it have a chance to protect them from the power of the ghosts inhabiting the household? What secrets are the siblings hiding? What role do the late butler Peter Quint and Miss Jessel's former teacher play in their story?

The atmosphere of terror is emphasized by the brilliant use of an orchestra consisting of only thirteen instruments and the refined musical form of the piece. The prologue that opens the work functions as a theme, and the following short scenes are preceded by its successive variations. The title screw tightening also reflects the harmonic structure of the work. As the events unfold, the viewer plunges deeper and deeper into what is inevitable, and the autobiographical allusions hidden in Britten's work stimulate reflection on maturation, the power of desire and human nature.

English

Ceremonia niewinności poszła na dno” – ten złowieszczy cytat ze słynnego wiersza The Second Coming irlandzkiego poety Williama Butlera Yeatsa otwiera drugi akt opery The Turn of the Screw (Dokręcanie śruby) Benjamina Brittena, stanowiąc poniekąd klucz do jej interpretacji. Libretto dzieła zostało oparte na pełnej niedopowiedzeń i symboli noweli Henry’ego Jamesa. Nowa guwernantka przybywa do rezydencji Bly, by objąć opieką osierocone rodzeństwo – Miles’a i Florę. Czy jednak ma szansę uchronić je przed mocą upiorów zamieszkujących domostwo? Jakie tajemnice skrywa rodzeństwo? Jaką rolę w ich historii odgrywa nieżyjący już kamerdyner Peter Quint i poprzednia nauczycielka panna Jessel?

Atmosferę grozy podkreśla genialne wykorzystanie orkiestry złożonej z zaledwie trzynastu instrumentów oraz wyrafinowana muzyczna forma utworu. Otwierający dzieło prolog pełni funkcję tematu, a następujące po nim krótkie sceny są poprzedzone jego kolejnymi wariacjami. Tytułowe dokręcanie śruby odzwierciedla także struktura harmoniczna dzieła. Wraz z rozwojem wydarzeń odbiorca zanurza się coraz głębiej w tym, co nieuniknione, a ukryte w dziele Brittena autobiograficzne aluzje pobudzają do refleksji o dojrzewaniu, sile pożądania i ludzkiej naturze.
