On Thursday 22 November, Artist-in-Residence, Dr Milena Michalski, joined a panel at the English National Opera for a pre-performance discussion of Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem. In War Requiem, Benjamin Britten juxtaposes – or reconciles – the anti-war poetry of Wilfred Owen and the timeless ritual of the Latin Requiem Mass.
The discussion was hosted by journalist Alexandra Coghlan, with ENO Music Director Martyn Brabbins, Dr Milena Michalski, and ENO Staff Director Elaine Tyler-Hall.
