Manuel Schmitt directs double bill of Britten's church parables at Bockenheimer Depot

'The Prodigal Son is the third of Britten's triptych of Church Parables. Each work is at once a ritual drama which strikes deeper at each enactment; a human drama which takes on new shades and shifts its inner tensions as the casts change; and a multilayered musical score which reveals new, beautiful secretes in its making each time it is heard.' Andrew Porter, The Observer
