Not all secrets stay in the grave…such is the case at Bly Manor. 

Hired by a mysterious and absent guardian, a young governess travels to a remote English country house to care for two precocious young orphans. Greeted by the housekeeper Mrs. Grose (Christine Brewer), she soon is faced with the possibility that something sinister is afoot. What follows are a series of increasingly ominous supernatural accounts with two of the manor’s previous staff—Miss Jessel, the children’s depraved former governess and the valet, Peter Quint, her diabolical lover.  Based on the mid-19th century horror novella by Henry James, Britten’s seductive, luminous, and brilliantly structured score builds delicious tension to create one of opera’s greatest ghost stories that will have you gripping the edge of your seat.
