The fisherman Peter Grimes lives in a fishing village on the east coast of England. A large part of the population eyed the aloof loner suspiciously. Grimes is officially acquitted of the suspicion of having done violence to an apprentice boy who was taken from the orphanage. However, the boy's death intensified the local gossip. Only old Captain Balstrode and the widow Ellen Orford take sides with Grimes. When his new apprentice also dies, the fisherman is wanted. Orford and Balstrode are the first to meet him: he is close to madness. Balstrode advises Grimes to go out to sea and sink his boat ...

The composer Benjamin Britten, who himself comes from a fishing town in Eastern England, achieved his breakthrough as an opera composer in 1945 with "Peter Grimes". He wrote the title role for his friend, the tenor Peter Pears, who achieved world fame for the role. With this work, Britten revived the English operatic tradition, which had almost died out since Henry Purcell. Based on the narrative "The Borough" by the English poet George Crabbe, Britten and his librettist Montagu Slater created the haunting portrait of an internally torn outsider who ultimately perishes because of the narrow-mindedness and cruelty of his fellow human beings.
