Set aboard a British naval ship, this compelling drama explores themes of innocence, duty, and the struggle between good and evil. Gunn's portrayal of the titular character, Billy Budd, and Bostridge's Captain Vere deliver powerful performances, while Harding's masterful direction brings Benjamin Britten's haunting score to life. A must-watch for opera enthusiasts and fans of intense, character-driven storytelling.\\\\'\u003cp\u003eDisc 1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
