Death in Venice

[Karl-G]

Stuttgart Opera and Ballet is currently streaming free Benjamin Britten's "Death in Venice," from the novel by Thomas Mann. Beautiful Tadzio and his nearly nude young friends cavort on stage.

Thank you. Great eye candy. This production of course has nothing to do with Benjamin Britten or Thomas Mann. I’m reminded of a quote from the late Clive James that Germany no longer sends its armies to invade Poland but sends its producers to invade the world’s opera houses. He might have added they practice their manoeuvres on home turf particularly in Stuttgart.
