Peter Grimes Britten

Benjamin Britten's operatic classic is the tale of the persecution of an outsider in a judgmental society, and the story of Peter Grimes has parallels to composer Benjamin Britten's own life. 

Peter Grimes is Britten's breakthrough work, and he wrote it during a period of homesickness while living in exile in California with his partner Peter Pears during World War II. The composer longed for the British coast when he came across the 18th century poem about the fisherman Peter Grimes. It became the seed for the portrayal of an outsider who is judged as deviant by the narrow-minded society around him.

The Royal Opera Chorus, which is extra large for this opera, can be experienced in a decisive role when they pursue Grimes as a condemning mass in a lynching frenzy. Niels Jørgen Riis sings for the first time the role of the proud fisherman Peter Grimes, and Sine Bundgaard debuts as the school teacher Ellen Orford, who as the only one in the claustrophobic fishing lodge helps Peter in his fight for survival in the harsh environment.

David Radok's staging of Peter Grimes , which premiered at Gamle Scene in the 1993/1994 season, was one of the Royal Opera's biggest audience and review successes for many years. Now the set-up can be experienced for the first time in the Opera.

The performance replaces the originally planned production by Peter Grimes from the Polish National Opera, Teatr Wielki, which could not be carried out due to production difficulties following the corona pandemic.

English

Benjamin Brittens operaklassiker er fortællingen om forfølgelse af en outsider i et fordømmende samfund, og historien om Peter Grimes har paralleller til komponisten Benjamin Brittens eget liv. 

Peter Grimes er Brittens gennembrudsværk, og han skrev det i  en periode med hjemve, mens han under 2. verdenskrig levede i eksil i Californien med sin partner Peter Pears. Komponisten længtes efter den britiske kyst, da han faldt over 1700-­talsdigtet om fiskeren Peter Grimes. Det blev spiren til skildringen om en outsider, der dømmes som afviger af det snæversynede samfund omkring ham.

Det Kongelige Operakor, der er ekstrastort til denne opera, kan opleves i en afgørende rolle, når de som fordømmende masse i en lynchrus forfølger Grimes. Niels Jørgen Riis synger for første gang rollen som den stolte fisker Peter Grimes, og Sine Bundgaard debuterer som skolelærerinden Ellen Orford, der som den eneste i det klaustrofobiske fiskerleje hjælper Peter i hans kamp for overlevelse i det rå miljø.

David Radoks iscenesættelse af Peter Grimes, der havde premiere på Gamle Scene i sæson 1993/1994, var en af Den Kongelige Operas største publikums- og anmeldersuccesser i mange år. Nu kan opsætningen for første gang opleves i Operaen.

Forestillingen erstatter den oprindeligt planlagt produktion af Peter Grimes fra Den polske nationalopera, Teatr Wielki, der på grund af produktionsvanskeligheder efter corona-pandemien ikke kunne gennemføres.
