Night Waves

Rana Mitter reviews a new production of Benjamin Britten's opera Peter Grimes. Premiered by English National Opera - as Sadler's Wells Opera - in 1945, Britten's first opera is widely regarded as the most significant British opera for over two centuries. ENO's production at the London Coliseum is directed by David Alden and stars Amanda Roocroft, Gerald Finley, Felicity Palmer and Stuart Skelton.
