Merola Opera Program continues its 2023 Summer Festival with a fully staged production of Benjamin Britten’s "The Rape of Lucretia," approached through a current lens. Based on an ancient Roman myth, with a libretto by Ronald Duncan set to one of Britten’s most searing and lyrical scores, "The Rape of Lucretia" follows the tale of dedicated spouse Lucretia, who becomes a target in a brutal weaponization of sexual assault for power.
