Opera in Cinema presents "Peter Grimes" at Wilmette Theatre

OPERA IN CINEMA PRESENTSPeter GrimesOpera from La Scala, Milan, ItalyBritish composer Benjamin Britten described his opera Peter Grimes as “the struggle of the individual against the masses. The more vicious the society, the more vicious the individual.” Set in a drab fishing village, Peter Grimes tells the story of a man accused by his neighbors of committing unspeakable crimes, and how their actions ripple further and further. Britten’s incredible score includes the Four Sea Interludes, instrumental music between scenes that perfectly express the mystery and pain at the heart of this opera.Conducted by Robin TicciatiDirected by Richard JonesStarring John Graham-Hall, Susan Gritton, Christopher Purves and Felicity PalmerTickets $20Sunday, June 17 @ 2:30pm Wednesday, June 20 @ 7:00pmTickets available online at www.wilmettetheatre.com or call Box Office at 847-251-7424
