The orchestra did a wonderful job at interpreting the complex Britten score. The singing was excellent, especially Michaela Cadwgan as Miss Jessel. I had trouble following the plot, and I realised I should have become familiar with the opera in advance. A problem was The TV set on stage, facing the audience, although vintage-looking, was definitely anachronistic, as it is to be assumedthat the production is set in the 19^th century. It was evidently included with the aim of passing on plot elements to us, otherwise difficult to achieve given the limited budget of the company. However, this device fell to pieces because different characters would stretch out on the floor and watch it, that is, they would be a second audience of it. I suggest that projection onto the back wall would have been a safer way to achieve this requirement. Defiantly, this TV was made into a hero component of the publicity. Oh dear. Another production problem was the encounter we have with the Governess in the train on the way to the ##. ###.  A park bench takes the place of the seat in the train, and we see her hemmed in between two bulky persons. I was bewildered at this.
