When distrust and rumors start circulating in a village, it's hard to counteract it. The fisherman Peter Grimes also has to find out. He is said to be responsible for the death of his apprentice. In the course of the opera, accidents multiply. For the villagers, only the question of guilt is in the foreground - for the audience of the opera, the realization of what collective exclusion can cause.
»When I wrote ›Peter Grimes‹, I wanted to express my knowledge of the eternal struggle of the men and women who wrested their lives, their livelihood, from the sea«, the composer described his subject. The sea is not only a central theme of Benjamin Britten's composition, but also Grimes' last desperate refuge...
In her production, Sabine Hartmannshenn focuses on the opposite of the individual and the masses. The opera choir stands as a powerful company alongside the expelled Grimes and is one of the main actors of the work - stage design and light reflect the inner turmoil of the fisherman.
