Valentina Petraeva / Κριτικές

Benjamin Britten's first major opera Peter Grimes reflects the major themes of the composer's life - on the one hand being rooted in his homeland of Suffolk and on the other hand being an outsider as a homosexual at a time when living out these tendencies was still a punishable offense (from the way the Nazis treated gays at the time of its creation in 1944/45 not to mention).
