If you are looking for a new and exciting theatre experience, consider checking out Boston Lyric Opera's The Turn of the Screw this week. BLO sets Benjamin Britten's haunting opera in the Park Plaza Castle. The Castle itself offers an eerie vibe, particularly when the lights go down that compliments the spooky ambiguities of Britten's opera.
BLO built everything required to transform the open space inside the old armory into a performance area - the stage, dressing rooms, orchestra pit and even the seating. Director Sam Helfrich also includes live video feed from the dank, musty basement to offer opposing images of the characters - further emphasizing the unreliability of the narrators. With plenty of creepy components, this production should be surprising and exciting for the audiences.
