Film: Britten’s Endgame
A poignant study of Britten’s last years, directed by the award-winning film-maker John Bridcut, and featuring some of Britten's most powerful music.
A chance to see this extraordinarily rich film, originally made in Britten’s centenary year in 2013, and exploring the composer’s creativity in the face of serious illness. It includes specially-filmed performances by mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly and tenor Allan Clayton, as well as interviews with those closest to Britten in his final years.
