Peter Grimes
Author(s):
Benjamin Britten, libretto by Montagu Slater after George Crabbe
Company:
English National Opera
Among Britten’s best-known operas, Peter Grimes is the tale of an ostracised outsider turned upon by the community, set against the melodramatic and claustrophobic backdrop of a Suffolk fishing village. The opera received its premiere by the ENO (then Sadler’s Wells Opera) in 1945.
