The 1990 Glyndebourne performance of Britten's final opera. Gustav von Aschenbach is a novelist who travels to Venice to seek inspiration. Once there, he has visions of doom, but his attempt to leave is foiled when his luggage is sent to the wrong destination. He cannot help admiring a young boy called Tadzio on the beach, but finds himself unable to speak to him. All the while a disease is spreading through Venice, and Aschenbach becomes aware of the death and decay around him.
