A five-star job, really, long may it stay in the repertoireDue to the unavailability of Gwyn Hughes Jones, the pivotal role of Peter Grimes fell to British tenor, John Findon, who fitted so well the sea boots of this lone and anguished fisherman. Partly written in America during the Second World War where Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears were escaping war-torn Britain on a pacifist ticket, Peter Grimes was premièred by Sadler’s Wells Opera (later to become English National Opera) at Sadler’s Wells Theatre, Islington, on 7 June 1945, conducted by Reginald Goodall with Peter Pears in the title-role.
