Peter Grimes

Britten’s most famous opera is utterly absorbing, exploring themes of paranoia and mob mentality. His evocative music conjures up the beauty and the unrelenting harshness of the sea, and the turbulent passions unleashed by a man at odds with himself and with his community. In Phyllida Lloyd’s award-winning production (one which has swept up five-star reviews), it all adds up to an emotionally devastating, profoundly memorable experience.
