New National Theatre Opera: Peter Grimes Unofficial
Reiwa 8 (81st) Agency for Cultural Affairs Arts Festival-Sponsored Performances
2026/11/29(su.) 14:00 Starting
British composer Benjamin Britten’s masterpiece, *Peter Grimes*, will be staged in a new production at the New National Theatre. Set in a fishing village on the east coast of England, this psychological drama follows the lonely fisherman Peter Grimes as he is hounded by suspicion and condemnation from the villagers following the death of his apprentice, eventually driving him to the brink. The work powerfully portrays the violence of group psychology and the isolation of the individual, leaving the audience deeply moved. Robert Carsen directs, bringing the story to life with his contemporary staging, which earned critical acclaim at La Scala in Milan. Under the baton of Kazushi Ono, with Brandon Jovanovich in the title role and Sally Matthews as Ellen, a stellar cast and the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra will vividly bring to life Britten’s richly colorful and powerful music. This unmissable festival production delves into the depths of human drama.
