About

Made at the request of the Britten Estate, this film - thought to be the definitive portrait of the great composer - tells of one of the most profound love affairs of the 20th Century, between Britten and his lover and life-long companion and inspiration, Peter Pears.
 
At a time when it was illegal to be openly homosexual, Britten & Pears faced up to a hostile world with unflinching dignity, producing a string of masterpieces that, together with the works of Vaughan Williams, established English music as internationally pre-eminent in the middle years of the 20th century.

Includes extracts from: Peter Grimes, Billy Budd, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The War Requiem, Curlew River, Death in Venice, The Nocturne & The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra.
