On Saint Cecilia's Day 1913, Benjamin Britten was born, who would be one of the most important and prolific operatives of the 20th century. Led by Luis Gago, this course proposes a journey through his creative talent and his attractive personality that gave rise to a key operatic catalog for the History of the genre. In particular, the course will delve into the process of creating Peter Grimes, the composer's next scheduled opera at the Teatro Real.

Understanding Benjamin Britten | Training | T.20 / 21

If there exists a before and after in British opera, then this is measured from the opening of Peter Grimes at Sadler’s Wells in London in June 1945. Greeted as the most important English opera since the time(s) of Henry Purcell, the success of the work was decisive in the evolution of Britten’s operatic talent and consolidating  his as the composer who was to become an undisputed reference point of the 20th century. Based on a poem published in 1810 with more ethnographic than dramatic focus, Britten constructed a sombre parable about the conflict between the masses and the individual. The maritime atmosphere, the crudity of people’s lives and passions, and the complex, impenetrable personality of the protagonist come together in a tragedy which ferments and explodes in the din of silence and hearsay. A tragedy which is immediately forgotten gives way to the self-righteousness of everyday lives and the movement of the sea itself. After the recent success of Billy Budd, opera and theatre director Deborah Warner returns to the Teatro Real to premiere this coproduction between the Royal Opera House Covent Garden of London, the Opéra National de Paris (or the Paris Opera) and the Teatro dell'Opera of Rome.
