"A daring experiment"; Britten, opera and television; trial by television.
JENNIFER BARNES is Assistant Principal and Dean of Studies at Trinity College of Music, London.

*GRAMOPHONE*
[This] study is a significant contribution to the growth of the
still-young scholarship on mediated opera.

argued. It makes for compulsive and intelligent reading.
