BILLY BUDD

  The best concert I went to is a not very common one. It is an opera called Billy Bud, by the composer Benjamin Britten. I came to the concert everytime they gave me the ticket. I also performed at the Santiago Opera in 2015. It is a very particular story. A sailor named Billy Bud believes in the ideals of France: freedom, equality and fraternity and because of that he receives better treatment as sailor, which it does not happen, since the same commander of the ship is in love with the protagonist and as he is not accepted, Klagar, the antagonist, decides to destroy him. To do this, he devises a plan for a possible mutiny where finally the protagonist kills Klagar in an accident and receives, like any sailor on the high seas who kills a colleague, the death penalty. It is there where they decide to hang Billy, while his companions really want to riot now, since they consider it a profound injustice. It is something beautiful and sad at the same time.
