One of the most renowned works from famous British composer Benjamin Britten. Set in a fishing village on the east coast of England, this is the story of a lonely fisherman, Peter Grimes, suspected of killing his young apprentice. It offers an intensely emotional depiction of isolation and group mentalities, hope and despair.

Peter Grimes

New National Theatre

Falstaff is a comedy written by opera great Giuseppe Verdi near the end of his life, based on Shakespeare's famous plays "The Merry Wives of Windsor" and "Henry IV". A masterpiece brimming with unrivalled fun and life philosophy, the story centres on the greedy but lovable old knight Falstaff and his interactions with a group of lively, quick-witted women and young couples. Musically, the work was very progressive at that time, with finely crafted pieces full of excitement, including the nonet in Act 1 and Fuga Finale, featuring ten soloists and a chorus. In particular, Falstaff's show-stopping fugue finale 'Tutto nel mundo è burla' is the perfect end to the evening, and has become a regular feature at gala concerts and other events.
