USU Opera: The Rape of Lucretia

The chamber opera "The Rape of Lucretia" by English composer Benjamin Britten narrates the tragic mytho-historical story of the faithful Lucretia and the events leading to her assault by Prince Tarquinius, the errant son of a pre-Republic Roman tyrant.

A masterpiece of the operatic literature, this piece was instrumental in ushering in a new golden age of English opera in the mid-20th century. Performed by USU voice and orchestra students in the Russell/Wanlass Performance Hall, Jan. 17, 7:30 p.m. and Jan. 19, 4 p.m. Guest directed by Vanessa Ballam, conducted by Maestro Daniel Wachs.
