The Italian and international press were unanimous in their praise for Peter Grimes at La Scala, which revived the tradition of Britten's operas on the lyric stages of Italy. A strong British cast was marshalled by the baton of Robin Ticciati, who has already won golden opinions for his opera conducting. Richard Jones's production focuses on the fisherman as the outsider in a brutal society, cut off by mutual suspicion and misunderstanding: an unforgettable production of an opera that never loses its power. Extra feature: Interviews with cast and crew. Running time: 168 minutes Subtitles: EN/FR/DE/JP/KR Sound format: 2.0LPCM + 5.1(5.0) DTS
