Wayne will be taking up the musical direction for this controversial opera in Lyon next Spring.
Peter Grimes left the audience in shock when it premiered in 1945. Benjamin Britten’s character is an outcast navigating a community which rejects differences. Who is the guilty party when an event leads to a wave of violence? The man circumstances point to, or the society pushing him over the edge.
Benjamin Britten’s first opera, is about a misanthropic loner who is hounded to self-destruction by his fellow townspeople after two mysterious, but accidental, deaths.
