The Turn of the Screw
(2024)


Benjamin Britten
Miss Jessel
Opera 5

  • Rachel Krehm is deeply affecting as an anguished Miss Jessel.

    Ian Ritchie - Opera Going Toronto

  • Soprano Rachel Krehm sang with full-throated amplitude, memorably slithering across the stage for one of her surprise entrances.

    La Scena Magazine - Gianmarco Segato

  • In the role of Mrs. Jessel, soprano Rachel Krehm, part of the Opera 5 team, brought and air of curious propriety to her Jessel. Her portrayal of Jessel was full of love and compassion for young Miles and Flora and her ability to help the audience view that as a threat the way Mrs. Grose interprets it was very well done.

    Schmopera - Gregory Finney

  • Rachel Krehm’s Miss Jessel was troubled and spooky.
