Death in VenicePresented by: Canadian Opera Company
An aging writer in crisis seeks salvation in the light and splendour of Venice.
An aging writer in crisis seeks salvation in the light and splendour of Venice. Confronted instead with a decaying city, and thwarted in his search for creative inspiration, he becomes bewitched with the vitality and beauty of a young boy. Based on Thomas Mann's novella, Death in Venice was Benjamin Britten's final opera. The world premiere in 1973 was conducted by Steuart Bedford, who will lead the COC production.
At the Four Seasons Centre, 145 Queen St. W., Toronto. Performance time is approximately two hours, 50 minutes with one intermission. Sung in English with English SURTITLES™.
