London
Royal Opera - Peter Grimes
Britten’s brooding opera returns. Deborah Warner’s staging foregrounds the vulnerability and volatility of the shunned Peter Grimes, and the tragic conflict between the individual and group.
Allan Clayton, Bryn Terfel and Maria Bengtsson star in Britten’s bleak operatic parable, in which the dark undercurrents of paranoia and mob mentality lead to a turbulent, haunting end. Deborah Warner’s (Billy Budd, Wozzeck) stunning contemporary staging – which had its premiere in 2022, as part of The Royal Opera's Britten Cycle – illuminates the humanity of the shunned Grimes, while Britten’s evocative score pulses with dread and tension as the villagers close in on their troubled outcast.
Music Director of The Royal Opera Jakub Hrůša conducts.
