Peter Grimes

Peter Grimes is an opera by Benjamin Britten. The English libretto was written by Montagu Slater, which was adapted from The Borough, a poem by George Crabbe. It was first performed at Sadler's Wells in London on June 7, 1945 and was the first of Britten's operas to be a critical and popular success. As it is still widely performed both in the U.K. and internationally, it is considered part of the standard repertoire.
