Peter Grimes
An acclaimed opera performed by a Grammy-nominated star.
Overview
First performed back in 1945, Benjamin Britten's Peter Grimes tells a tale of a fisherman, an English coastal village and a missing appearance. That storyline mightn't sound like something to sing about; however the acclaimed opera has been proving that notion wrong for more than 70 years.
Considered one of the defining British operas of the 20th century, it's coming to Brisbane Festival on September 20 and 22, with Grammy-nominated Australian heldentenor Stuart Skelton making the trip back for what's shaping as a rousing, resounding staging. Coming to QPAC's Concert Hall, the production will also 18 soloists, the Opera Queensland Chorus and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra.
