Set in Venice, the English composer's beloved city, Death in Venice is Britten's last opera, written between 1971 and 1973. Recorded at Teatro La Fenice in Venice, 2008, this is the most modern version of Death in Venice available on DVD. The set however was not new. It was the same set used for a production Pierluigi Pizzi made in Genoa in 2000 that was so successful it won the Abbiati Prize, a prestigious Italian music prize.
