Review: Royal Ballet and Opera Presents a Dual PETER GRIMES
In their production of PETER GRIMES, the Royal Ballet and Opera deftly balances the chorus's spectacle of a raging mob with the lonely fisherman Grimes's individual mental breakdown.
Peter Grimes hinges on balancing the duality between its chorus and Grimes as an individual. In one corner the spectacle of the mob, bustling and boiling with rage in their witch hunt for Grimes, and in the other corner is lonely fisherman Grimes himself, whose mental breakdown demands gutturally intimacy. Can Deborah Warner’s 2022 production, revived at the Royal Opera House, rediscover that equilibrium that electrified its first outing? of PETER GRIMES at Royal Ballet And Opera?
