Peter Grimes Tickets

Duration

3 hrs 15 mins

Experience the poignant opera, Peter Grimes, by Benjamin Britten, with a libretto by Montagu Slater, at London Coliseum this autumn. Secure your tickets to the Peter Grimes opera, London and venture deep into the dark corners of the human psyche with this thrilling tale.

  • Peter Grimes presents a brilliantly simplistic tale that is equal parts psychological thriller and morality play. A stunning musical depiction of the powers of intolerance, suspicion, and terror which can repress our diversity and tear us apart as people and communities, Peter Grimes is an opera by Benjamin Britten with a libretto by Montagu Slater. Often regarded as an English national opera, Britten’s beautiful masterpiece depicts the mistrust, misunderstandings, and dangerous secrets that remain even in the closest communities in a profoundly realistic manner.

    With its realistic representation of characters and social themes, the piece represented a shift from the more traditional operatic style that was popular at the time. The production, directed by David Alden and conducted by Martyn Brabbins, will be staged at the London Coliseum in London’s West End for a short run this fall.
