Opera Preview: Pittsburgh Opera hits the high seas with Britten's 'Billy Budd'

Post Gazette: "Benjamin Britten's 'Billy Budd' takes place on a British warship on the high seas in 1797. But the opera's naval aspects are only surface deep. Lurking beneath the water is a struggle of colossal proportions -- good vs. evil -- and director Francesca Zambello felt compelled to build a massive set that matched that."
