In our fourth episode, we engage in an intense and difficult discussion centred around how to portray traumatic events on stage in a way that is safe for both performers and audience. Focussing on Benjamin Britten’s violently beautiful masterpiece, Melanie takes us through her work as an intimacy advocate, and together we ask how opera can do better in the wake of a series of intense and troubling scandals that shook the industry.
