Benjamin Britten’s chamber opera The Rape Of Lucretia is an intimate portrayal of a personal tragedy with historic consequences, set against a backdrop of war. The iconic tale of the last Prince of Rome’s assault on the virtuous Lucretia makes for a piece of darkly dramatic and morally ambiguous theatre.

British Youth Opera is performing The Rape Of Lucretia in repertoire with Le Nozze Di Figaro.
