Britten: Peter Grimes Blu-ray (La Scala)

The Italian and international press were unanimous in their praise for Peter Grimes at La Scala, which revived the tradition of Britten's operas on the lyric stages of Italy. A top British cast was marshalled by the baton of Robin Ticciati. Richard Jones's production focuses on the fisherman as the outsider in a brutal and brutalised 1980s society, cut off by mutual suspicion and misunderstanding: an unforgettable production of a 20th-cnetury operatic masterpiece that never loses its power.
