館藏資訊
摘自 博客來網路書店 網站 : 歌劇「碧廬冤孽」是布列頓在一九五四年依據亨利詹姆士的短篇小說改編成的，其實這是個鬼故事，非常受歡迎，歷來改編的電影、電視和各種演出型式，不勝枚舉，包括零一年妮可基曼演的「神鬼第六感」，也是改編自詹姆士此作。
世界首演是在威尼斯鳳凰歌劇院，當時被譽為當代英國戲劇中最有戲劇張力的傑作。此劇是以音列手法寫成，是當代歌劇中少見始終上演不輟的名劇，一直到近兩年，世界各地包括奧地利、美國、俄國、德國和義大利都還是持續在推出新的製作版本。
此劇以十九世紀中葉的英國鄉間為背景，劇情描寫一位女家教被請來照顧一對小朋友，雇主住在倫敦，他只對家教有三個要求：不得寫信給他，不得問到小孩過去的住處，也不得拋棄小朋友。這之後就發生一連串離奇的事情，女教師就是劇中連繫陰陽兩個世界的關鍵人物。
布列頓選擇這個鬼故事搬上歌劇舞台，可以說是非常明智，因為歷來很少有作曲家想到運用這個題材，而十二音技法對這種恐怖的劇情也格外合適，這份2021年的錄影，可以說是約翰·威森生平的代表作。
摘要註
Henry James's novella has become notorious as at once the most stylish and elusively ambiguous of all nineteenth-century ghost stories. In June 1932, the eighteen-year-old Benjamin Britten heard a radio adaptation of James's story and noted in his diary that it was 'wonderful, impressive but eerie and scary'. He read the novella for himself in January the following year, telling his diary that he still found it ₁glorious and eerie' and judging it to be an ₁incredible masterpiece'. His subsequent operatic setting is unequivocally a masterpiece, and here receives a first-class production made for television with an outstanding cast led by Robert Murray and Rhian Lois, accompanied by Sinfonia of London and conducted by John Wilson.
