Peter Grimes background

Peter Grimes

A reclusive outsider, Peter Grimes, struggles to find acceptance in a small English village, haunted by his troubled past and the devastating drowning of his apprentice, which has left a lasting shadow on his reputation.

In this tragic drama, a fisherman's apprentice dies at sea, and a coroner rules it an accidental drowning. However, the townspeople's dislike for the apprentice's employer, Peter Grimes, who is driven by anger and ambition, leads them to suspect foul play. As tensions rise, Grimes's new apprentice falls to his death, and the community believes it was murder.
