Billy Budd

Description

Benjamin Britten, qui ne faisait pas mystère de son homosexualité, ne pouvait être qu'attiré par la nouvelle très ambiguë d'Herman Melville, aux personnages uniquement masculins. L'angélisme du jeune marin Billy, le climat de violence amoureuse qu'il suscite sur son bateau et qui lui sera fatal, enfin l'atmosphère maritime dans laquelle baigne tout l'ouvrage, étaient propices à la création d'un chef-d'oeuvre (1951). Dirigée par le compositeur lui-même, cette version est bouleversante. --Michel Marmin
