The year of three Grimes
NewsWhatever else is coming back to life, it is little short of astonishing to see three of the most high-powered productions of Peter Grimes ever conceived making their way into the public space.
First was Vienna with Jonas Kaufmann as Grimes, Lise Davidsen as Ellen and Bryn Terfel as Balstrode.
Beat that?
Munich is next with Stuart Skelton in the title role and Rachel Willis-Sørensen as Ellen Orford, with Stefan Herheim as director.
Finally, in March, there’s the ROH in London with Allan Clayton, Bryn Terfel and John Tomlinson, alongside Maria Bengtsson in Deborah Warner’s production.
Has there ever been a bigger year for Grimes?
