Tonight's performance cancelled with five hours notice. Covid cast. Guess I'll have to wait another fifty years to watch this now to complete Britten.

I get the impression that it's an opera that's done with relative regularity - I've never wanted to see it myself so have not kept close track of productions - so I'm sure you won't have to wait another 50 years. Mind you, with what the Arts Council is doing to opera companies...! I saw a tweet from soprano Sky Ingram that she'd jumped in as the Female Chorus at short notice for last night's performance so presumably they've been having cast illness issues already & it's got worse to the point of having to cancel tonight.

Saw this, much to like.... but...I remain ambivalent about Britten. Not sure it added anything to my understanding of the horrors of war/men/power.
Excellent playing and cast - no substitutions last week.
Linbury Theatre is a nightmare to get everyone seated.
