The Symphony’s season-long celebration of the Benjamin Britten centenary continues with Peter Grimes, “one of the most psychologically potent operas in the repertory” (Alex Ross). With music in equal parts harrowing and enchanting, Britten sought in Peter Grimes to give voice to “a subject very close to my heart—the struggle of the individual against the masses.” Joined by an extraordinary cast headlined by Stuart Skelton in the title role, MTT conducts the work regarded among “the true operatic masterpieces of the twentieth century” (The New York Times).
“It’s hard not to admire the way this orchestra and its leader think outside the box; it’s getting to be a habit for them.” —SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS
