BOOK
Britten, opera and film : Henry James's The turn of the screw from stage to screen
2025
Overview
Benjamin Britten's 1954 opera 'The Turn of the Screw', based on Henry James's ghost story, has been described by many critics and commentators as cinematic. Along with Peter Grimes, 'The Turn of the Screw' is one of the most frequently televised or filmed of Britten's operas. Some of these productions have used location footage and/or studio work, and others are based on theatrical settings. This book explores the notion of cinematic opera in the context of 'The Turn of the Screw' and filmed opera in general, and questions what inherent cinematic qualities exist in the work which make it particularly conducive for screen interpretation, an aspect of Britten's compositional style which has rarely been examined in detail before.
