New National Theatre Opera: Peter Grimes Unofficial
New Production, 3 Acts Total (Performed in English with Japanese and English subtitles)
2026/12/05(sa.) 14:00 Starting
Benjamin Britten’s masterpiece opera *Peter Grimes* will be staged in a new production. Set in a fishing village on the east coast of England, the story follows Peter Grimes, a lonely fisherman who, following the death of his apprentice, becomes the target of suspicion among the villagers and is driven into a state of utter isolation. Multilayered themes such as poverty, group psychology, and individual dignity are masterfully fused with Britten’s powerful yet beautiful music. Directed by Robert Carsen, whose production received rave reviews at La Scala in Milan, this production highlights the depths of the work from a contemporary perspective. Featuring world-renowned tenor Brandon Jovanovich in the title role, the production brings together a stellar cast of singers, including Sally Matthews and Jordan Shanahan. With an overwhelming performance by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, led by conductor Kazushi Ono, and the New National Theatre Chorus—which eloquently depicts the surging waves of the stormy sea and the characters’ tense emotions—this is a production not to be missed.
