Opera review: The Turn of the Screw at the London Coliseum – A haunting night best left for adults

Last night, I attended the premiere of The Turn of the Screw at the London Coliseum, and let me tell you – this one is not for the faint-hearted, nor for families. If you’re used to the sweeping melodies and emotional clarity of Italian opera, where even kids can hum along to familiar tunes, this production will catch you off guard. The Turn of the Screw is a different beast entirely: dark, ambiguous, and emotionally unsettling. Parents, take note – this is a night for grown-ups only. You won’t find anything here to whistle on the way home, and the themes are anything but child-friendly.
