Intérprete: Ben Heppner

The Canadian Opera Company has judiciously chosen a real chestnut (La bohème) and a more complex if less popular work, Benjamin Britten’s Peter Grimes, for its fall season. The latter is given a well-sung and directed production despite some faux pas in the set design and the characterization of Grimes by tenor Ben Heppner.

English classical music is often associated with the countryside, the landscape and its villages, and Britten's opera Peter Grimes is no exception.
