The running time for this production is approximately three hours and six minutes including two 20-minute intermissions.
Peter Grimes (Christopher Ventris) is accused of murder when his apprentices keep mysteriously dying. Only Ellen Orford (Patricia Racette) has faith in the tortured fisherman, but even that is not enough to save him. Britten’s turbulent, sea-tossed score, conducted by Ilan Volkov, comes vividly to life in Paul Curran’s psychologically gripping production.
