When Benjamin Britten read George Crabbe’s poem The Borough, it sparked in him the idea for one of the greatest operas written in the English language, his timeless Peter Grimes.
From the troubled setting of the Suffolk coast – and the eponymous anti-hero’s relationship to the gossip-fuelled village – Britten weaves music of beauty, intricacy, humour and incredible humanity.
British Youth Opera brings a cast of participants from their programmes to this semi-staged performance at Saffron Hall – a great opportunity for audiences to hear the next generation in the making!
