Benjamin Britten’s haunting chamber opera The Turn of the Screw brings Madison Opera into
The Playhouse at Overture Center, where audiences will have the opportunity to experience this
masterpiece in an intimate theatrical setting. Based on the Henry James novel of the same title,
The Turn of the Screw tells the mysterious tale of a young governess and the two children under
her watch on a remote country estate. Caroline Worra—called “a new soprano powerhouse” by
The New Yorker—stars with Madison favorites Gregory Schmidt, Julia Faulkner and Jamie Van Eyck.
Director Doug Scholz Carlson (The Tender Land, 2008) will create a new production to bring this
classic ghost story to life. John DeMain conducts.
