Wherein lies the human compulsion to destroy beauty? In this highly charged, theatrical chamber opera, Benjamin Britten meditates on this question through the presentation of a story whose source reaches back to Ovid and Shakespeare. The Rape of Lucretia tells of the virtuous Lucretia and her downfall at the hands of Tarquinius. A potent fusion of Greek drama and English opera, Britten's beautiful score highlights the opera's powerful themes emphasizing the ongoing struggle between love and lust, fidelity and passion, evil and redemption. CU Opera presents this production as a modern retelling of a classic tale.
