Written on Skin
''Written on Skin'' is an opera by the British composer George Benjamin. It was premiered at the Aix-en-Provence Festival in 2012, and received its British premiere at the Royal Opera House in London in March 2013; Benjamin conducted for both of these premiere seasons.
The libretto by Martin Crimp is based on a legend of the troubadour Guillaume de Cabestanh;〔(Royal Opera House website ), ''Written on Skin'', accessed 16 March 2013〕 the story is also repeated in ''The Decameron'' of Giovanni Boccaccio. The action takes place in 12th-century Provence. The wealthy Protector pays the Boy to create and illustrate a manuscript about his family. The Boy and the Protector's wife Agnès are attracted to each other. The Protector murders the Boy and forces Agnès to eat the Boy's heart. Agnès commits suicide. 'Angels' comment throughout on the action from a modern-day perspective.〔(''Written on Skin'' ), review by Andrew Clements in ''The Guardian'', 8 July 2012, accessed 16 March 2013〕
The success of the opera in performance has motivated the Royal Opera to commission a new full-length opera by Crimp and Benjamin, to be premiered in 2018. The title is not yet known.〔(Royal Opera House website ), "The Royal Opera commissions new work from George Benjamin and Martin Crimp", 14 June 2013 (accessed 14 June 2013).〕
