Benjamin Britten’s opera Gloriana was written in 1953 for celebrations around the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, to whom the opera is dedicated. It had its first performance at the Royal Opera House on 8 June 1953, in the presence of The Queen then just 6 days into her reign. The centenary in 2013 of Britten’s birth prompted this new Royal Opera production, in which director Richard Jones uses the setting of a celebratory pageant in 1953 to explore the work’s alternating splendour and intimacy. This theatrical, inventive and colourful staging has at its core the symbolic reflections between the Tudor Elizabethan and the New Elizabethan ages that characterize the opera. The juxtaposition of the modern and the archaic in William Plomer’s libretto is wonderfully amplified in music that artfully fuses the sounds and manners of Tudor England – from lute songs to courtly dances – with Britten’s own distinctive style.

This spin-off of "All in the Family" features the further adventures of Gloria Stivic and her son Joey. She and Mike are separated and she's gotten a job in a veterinarian's office.

Gabriel, 27, very handsome, has just arrived in Rio de Janeiro. On his first night, he becomes fascinated with the people he meets, especially one escort boy, Adriano, Portuguese, strikingly handsome. He also makes new friends: Mônica, a 40-year-old non-binary woman, and Mateus, a 22-year-old escort boy. At first, it’s not clear what Gabriel is doing in Rio, or what his situation was before he arrived. Little by little, it’s revealed that back home, in Fortaleza, he used to have a relatively comfortable financial situation, living with his grandmother, who raised him and supports him until today. After she died, and his estranged father inherited all the money, Gabriel decided to come to Rio and make a living by teaching English. He chose the Gloria neighbourhood, in part because he feels there he can live his gay sexuality more freely. He starts a romance with Adriano, and quickly becomes obsessed with the rent boy, in a way to avoid all the pain he’s feeling from the loss of his grandmother. Adriano is a cocaine addict, and keeps disappearing and coming back with no warning. This sends Gabriel in an investigation journey on Adriano, which ends up by turning Gabriel in an escort himself. And, even though he doesn’t know it yet, Gabriel is also developing a cocaine problem. The only thing keeping him afloat is his relationship with Monica and Mateus, who live together in a free love arrangement. Gabriel is so caught up with Adriano, that he doesn’t realize he is developing a strong bond with Monica and Mateus, both affectionate and sexual. Gabriel’s wakeup call comes when Adriano dies of overdose in front of him. This pushes our protagonist over the edge, making him perceive he will also die if he continues down the same path. Now, finally awake and determined to change, he understands that he needs to accept himself as a proud gay man and a sex worker. He has lost so much throughout his journey that only in the end is he able to see that he has found a fundamentally important thing: a family, in Gloria, with Monica and Mateus.
