Benjamin Britten's most celebrated opera, based on a poem by George Crabbe entitled 'The Borough', is set in an isolated English fishing village in the 1830s. Anthony Dean Griffey appears in the title role and Patricia Racette plays Ellen Orford, the schoolmistress who tries and fails to rescue Grimes from his anger and self-pity. Donald Runnicles, music director of the San Francisco Opera, leads the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus in this acclaimed production.
