''The Rape of Lucretia'' (Op. 37) is an opera in two acts by Benjamin Britten, written for Kathleen Ferrier, who performed the title role. Ronald Duncan based his English libretto on André Obey's play ''Le Viol de Lucrèce''.
==Performance history==
The opera was first performed at Glyndebourne in England on 12 July 1946.〔(Andrew Clements, "Small wonder: Andrew Clements explains the origins of Britten's controversial opera", ''The Guardian'' (London), 1 June 2001 ), Retrieved 24 July 2011〕 It is the first work to which Britten applied his term "chamber opera." The opera debuted in the United States on Broadway at the Ziegfeld Theatre in a production staged by Agnes de Mille which opened on 29 December 1948 and closed on 15 January 1949 after 23 performances. The cast notably included Giorgio Tozzi as Tarquinius, Kitty Carlisle as Lucretia, Lidija Franklin as Bianca, Brenda Lewis as the Female Chorus, and Adelaide Bishop as Lucia.
In 1996 the opera was presented at the Opera Theatre of St. Louis directed by Britten expert and friend, Colin Graham. It also appeared in the Opera Company of Philadelphia's 2009 season.〔(''The Rape of Lucretia'': Repertoire history of the Opera Company of Philadelphia, 2009 ) Retrieved 24 July 2011〕
