About
Direction & costumes: Pierluigi Pizzi
Set in Venice, the English composer’s beloved city, Death in Venice is Britten’s last opera, written between 1971 and 1973.
Recorded at Teatro La Fenice in Venice, 2008, this is the most modern version of Death in Venice available on DVD.
The set however was not new. It was the same set used for a production Pierluigi Pizzi made in Genoa in 2000 that was so successful it won the Abbiati Prize, a prestigious Italian music prize.

Awards and reviews
February 2011
No other production of this opera has so successfully transported the audience through a series of fully conceived sets...Marlin Miller sings with a refined lyrical sensibility...the beauty and grandeur of the production on DVD make it an exceptional treat. It is unlikely we will see a Death in Venice to rival this one visually for a long time.
