Product Information
Thomas Mann's mournful, poignant novel gets adapted into a moving opera here. Mann's novel tells the story of Gustav von Aschenbach, a solitary writer who summers in Venice, where he becomes obsessed with an angelic teenage boy. Tortured by his strange lust for the young man, Gustav slowly becomes weakened and physically ill. Using composer Benjamin Britten's powerful, elegiac music to dramatize the plot, this 1981 production is a highly original blend of opera and literature.Product Identifiers
