This thematic examination of Britten's operas focuses on the way that ideology is presented on stage. As well as being a record of the ideological world of mid-twentieth-century Britain, these operas continue to diagnose problems in our own time. This book argues that it is timely - if uncomfortable - for current audiences to re-address his music.
