Britten made no secret of his interest in boys, frequently writing vocal or choral music for them and was much associated with Westminster Choir School in London. [image]

However, the benign image he tried to cultivate is belied by more disturbing facts that have been tracked down by modern researchers such as Ian Pace. Britten was a close friend of [[Peter Righton]], founder and lynchpin of the British [[Pedophile Information Exchange]], (PIE) and also of Michael Davidson, a self-confessed pederast whose books detail his pedophile escapades on the Continent. Righton lived in Suffolk, close to the Maltings, Snape where Britten ran his music Festival, and Righton’s diaries mention meetings with Britten, Peter Pears, and their mutual friend Davidson whom he calls fellow “boy-lovers”. Righton was convicted as a lifelong predator on boys, a systematic arch-criminal who set up networks that enabled him and other pederasts to prey on boys in care-homes, boarding-schools or foster-homes. His friendship with Britten is confirmed by the many biographies that draw on Righton as a source, and an expert on Britten. He had a passion for his friends' operas, particularly ''Death in Venice.''
