London 05.20.2025Samuel Barnett (Benjamin Britten), Victoria Yeates (Imogen Holst). Presented by London’s Orange Tree Theatre. “Benjamin Britten is under pressure and on a deadline. He has just nine months to write a wildly ambitious new opera to celebrate the Coronation of Elizabeth II – and he isn’t entirely sure he wants to. And then he meets Imogen Holst: daughter of Gustav, multi-talented musician, and all-round force of nature. As storms lash the Aldeburgh beaches, Ben and Imo race against the clock to compose an opera fit for a monarch – and test the very edges of their passionate friendship”. Multi-camera, pro-shot.
