FAIREST ISLE
Humphrey Carpenter introduces a performance of Britten's first and best-known serious opera, which was first staged 50 years ago today when it launched the new Sadler's Wells Opera after the Second World War.
Elijah Moshinsky 's powerful production, revived by the Royal Opera House to mark this occasion, vividly captures the dramatic tension between the tormented fisherman and the Suffolk village folk whose double standards drive Grimes to his fate.
