Billy Budd is Britten`s gripping opera of sadism and injustice aboard a British man-o`-war. The libretto, by E.M. Forster and Eric Crozier, is based on the literary masterpiece by Herman Melville and tells the tale of a young seaman, Billy Budd, who is persecuted malevolently by his master-at-arms, Claggart. Accused of mutiny, the stammering Budd accidentally strkes Claggart dead and the tormented Captain Vere has no alternative but to hang him. The opera explores many universal themes - the individual at odds with society, the corruption of innonce, the continual conflict of good and evil - which no doubt lay close to the heart of Britten`s own pacifism and are themes which are explored in much of his dramatic music. This production has Britain`s leading operatic baritone, Thomas Allen, in one of his most distinguished roles, as Billy. He is noted not only for his superb abilities as a singer, but also for his acting skills, particularly necessary for the demanding role of the naive and virtuous character of Billy Budd. Philip Langridge as Captain Vere repeats his recently highly-praised portrayal. Benjamin Britten - Billy Budd stammt aus dem Hause Kinowelt Home Entertainment.
