Peter Grimes
Peter GrimesPresented by Cambridge Philharmonic
When Benjamin Britten read George Crabbe’s poem The Borough, it sparked in him the idea for one of the greatest operas written in the English language, his timeless Peter Grimes. From the troubled setting of the Suffolk coast – and the eponymous anti-hero’s relationship to the gossip-fuelled village – Britten weaves music of beauty, intricacy, humour and incredible humanity.
British Youth Opera brings a cast of up-and-coming singers to this semi-staged performance at Saffron Hall, joining Cambridge Philharmonic Chorus & Orchestra. A great opportunity for audiences to hear the stars of tomorrow in the making!
