The turn of the screw The first "turning of the screw" - the literal translation of The Turn of the Screw - begins quite harmlessly: A young governess takes over the education of Flora and Miles, two orphans, in an English country house. But soon a letter from Miles' school and a nocturnal apparition cause irritation. The governess learns from the housekeeper that she must have seen the deceased valet Peter Quint, who once had a close relationship with Miles. Could the dead revenant Quint really have returned to claim the boy? The worldview of the young governess begins to falter, the mysteries of the past seem bigger and darker... Benjamin Britten's complex 1954 chamber opera, based on a novel by Henry James, is a masterpiece. In the 2014/15 premiere series and in the 2015/16 season revival series, the Canadian soprano Layla Claire sings the role of the governess, while Pavol Breslik sings the role of Peter Quint. At the premiere in November 2014, the production was enthusiastically received and the press was full of praise: A "great play, implemented in a multi-layered gripping way" it says, or: "The turn of the screw is fascinating in all aspects and completely inspiring". .
