Our resident diva professor of design wrangled a bunch of tickets for the dress rehearsal of Jonathan Kent's production of 'The Turn of the Screw' tonight at LA Opera, and I was really glad to see it.
I've never forgotten how much fun I had PLAYING Miles in the play version (The Innocents) all those years ago. The opera is not quite as terrifying as the play, since the music - or maybe just the staging - prefigured a lot of things and painted things in strokes rather broader than the subtle horror of the Henry James might really need. That said, it is pretty amazing music, and it was extremely well-sung.
