New National Theatre Opera: Peter Grimes Unofficial
New Production, 3 Acts Total (Performed in English with Japanese and English subtitles)
2026/11/26(Th.) 14:00 Starting
“Peter Grimes,” a masterpiece by Benjamin Britten, one of Britain’s leading composers, will be staged at the New National Theatre. Set in a fishing village around 1830, this suspenseful story follows Peter Grimes, a lonely fisherman who is accused of the death of a young boy and gradually driven to the brink by the village’s collective psychology. This production, a new staging by Robert Carsen that was highly acclaimed at La Scala in Milan, sharply portrays human isolation and violence through a contemporary lens. Featuring world-renowned tenor Brandon Jovanovich in the title role, the production will be conducted by Kazushi Ohno, with the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra and the New National Theatre Chorus delivering a breathtaking musical performance that eloquently conveys both the surging waves of the sea and the characters’ inner turmoil. Britten’s music, which blends power and beauty, deeply moves the audience in this compelling opera. We invite you to experience this drama, where human fate and tragedy intertwine, live at the theater.
