Turn of the Screw: A governess arrives at a remote country estate to care for two children. Alone and anxious, the Governess begins to feel that the grounds might be haunted and that the malevolent spirits are targeting the children in her charge.

Join AME & On Site Opera on the breathtaking grounds of Wave Hill for an immersive production of Britten’s gothic masterpiece. The drama will unfold in several locations around the grounds, both indoors in the stately rooms of Wave Hill House and outdoors overlooking sweeping views of the Hudson River. Audiences will be asked to stand and walk intermittently for approximately the first 30 minutes of the production.

Co-produced with Wave Hill.

Tickets are sold-out from On Site Opera’s season pre-sale.
