Benjamin Britten's opera Peter Grimes tells the story of an outsider who comes under the wheels of the society that surrounds him. The starting point for this work was a verse narrative by George Crabbe describing life in a small fishing village. Britten, who came from Aldeburgh, found his own home in Crabbe's text and decided to set the Peter Grimes story to music in the early 1940s. The title role was sung by the tenor Peter Pears, with whom Britten had a personal and artistic relationship.
The opera was premiered in London in 1945. However, it took more than half a century for the first performance at the Vienna State Opera; it was not until 1996 that the work was staged by Christine Mielitz. She tells the story straightforwardly and clearly and shows the tormented soul of the title character in a cold atmosphere.
