Britten: Peter Grimes(2012)
Britten: Peter Grimes Synopsis
The Italian and international press were unanimous in their praise for "Peter Grimes" at La Scala, which revived the tradition of Britten's operas on the lyric stages of Italy. A top British cast was marshaled by the baton of Robin Ticciati. Richard Jones's production focuses on the fisherman as the outside in a brutal and brutalized 1980s society, cut off by mutual suspicion and misunderstanding: an unforgettable production of a 20th-century operatic masterpiece that never loses its power. Filmed in High Definition and recorded in true Surround Sound.
Britten: Peter Grimes (2012) is a music film directed by Richard Jones, released on May 1, 2012 with a runtime of 2h 34m. It stars John Graham-Hall, Susan Gritton, Christopher Purves and Felicity Palmer.
