Billy Budd - Schedule, Program & Tickets

Content:
"Evil knows about good, but good does not know about evil."
This quote by Franz Kafka would be a fitting subtitle for Britten's Billy Budd. The satanic officer Claggart succeeds in making Billy Budd, the angelic and therefore unsuspecting sailor loved by all, innocently guilty and thus destroying him.
