Nicholas Kirby-Johnson - Britten: The Turn of the Screw
Britten: The Turn of the Screw (Opus Arte OA0907D, DVD) January 2005
Featuring Nicholas Kirby-Johnson  
Richard Hickox, Mark Padmore, Lisa Milne, Catrin Wyn Davies, Diana Montague, Nicholas Kirby-Johnson, Caroline Wise

Written in 1954, Benjamin Britten's opera based on Henry James' tale, written in 1898, is a story with a sinister undertone. In this film of the opera we return to the late 19th Century setting of the original story, Fulbeck Hall in Lincolnshire. The ghostly atmosphere of the music is perfectly re-created by clever lighting techniques and faded colours of the costumes.
