nEW ProDuctIon
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 Jenu˚fa 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 Jenu˚fa) with amanda roocroft, Gerald
Finley and Felicity Palmer.
