Welsh National Opera, led by Tom谩拧 Hanus, present this gripping production of Britten鈥檚 pivotal operatic masterpiece at Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff. In the storm-swept costal community of Borough, fisherman Peter Grimes is an outsider, regarded with distain by many of his neighbours. When tragedy strikes, contempt turns to suspicion. Peter is driven to breaking point, and Borough鈥檚 colourful and wittily-drawn inhabitants begin to look and behave like a mob. Tenor, Nicky Spence leads a large ensemble cast, including Sally Matthews, David Kempster, Sarah Connolly and Catherine Wyn-Rogers - alongside the massed voices of the Chorus of Welsh National Opera. Donald Macleod presents, and is joined by theatre historian, Sarah Lenton, to unpack some of the history behind this work and the special qualities of this new production.
