Britten's Peter Grimes was premiered in London @Sadlers_Wells #OTD in 1945.
"Who can decipher
In storm or starlight
The written character
of a friendly fate
As the sky turns, the world for us to change?"
Happy birthday, Peter Grimes! 🎂
Performed for the first time on this day 79 years ago, this iconic #Britten opera is rich with dramatic choruses and enthralling solos.
