Peter Grimes Tickets

Peter Grimes Opera Tickets

Experience a modern operatic tragedy with Peter Grimes tickets. Peter Grimes was written in the early 20th century by Benjamin Britten and is the first of his works to achieve both critical and popular acclaim. The opera takes place in a small village on the coast of England and follows the tragic tale of Peter Grimes. Grimes is an outcast in the community, believed to be responsible for his apprentice’s death at sea. When Grime’s replacement apprentice too is killed, Grimes is driven to insanity. The opera ends with him setting off to sea to commit suicide.

Peter Grimes premiered in 1945 at the Sadler’s Wells Theatre, too much public resistance. The opera proved a runaway success however and became the troupe’s most profitable production. Peter Grimes opened in America at Tanglewood the following year. The piece has since been produced by notable opera companies the world over, with celebrated performances at the Royal Opera House in London and New York City’s Metropolitan Opera.

Britten composed Peter Grimes after reading about the British poet George Crabbe, who suffered a fate similar to the opera’s protagonist. Britten’s reinterpretation of the titular character has been hailed by critics for its ambiguity. Peter Grimes tickets give you a chance to see this challenging production for yourself. Audiences are left guessing whether Grimes is indeed responsible for the deaths of his apprentices, and the play’s theme of the individual versus society has made it a favorite of opera houses to this day.
