The most significant British opera in over two centuries, Peter Grimes, is a work of visceral and sustained beauty. Premiered by ENO - as Sadler’s Wells Opera - in 1945, Britten’s masterwork astonished audiences from its first night and its grip on the repertoire has continued ever since.
Peter Grimes is the anti-hero outsider in a fishing village whose picture perfect façade conceals the paranoia of closed minds. David Alden’s eagerly awaited new production follows his recent and unforgettable Jenùfa and Lucia di Lammermoor for ENO. Edward Gardner conducts this electrifying score. The cast is headed by Stuart Skelton (who was so impressive in ENO’s award-winning Jenùfa) with Amanda Roocroft, Gerald Finley and Felicity Palmer.
