West Edge Opera presents Britten’s The Turn of the Screw , a gripping psychological thriller that blurs the line between the seen and unseen. A young governess is hired to care for two children at a remote estate but soon suspects they are being haunted by the ghosts of two former employees. With a hypnotic score and mounting tension, the opera pulls audiences into a world where the mind becomes the most dangerous place of all.
Summer Festival 2026 at the Oakland Scottish Rite Center on Lake Merritt.
