What did you think of The Royal Opera's Peter Grimes?
Deborah Warner's new production of Britten's opera is now open on the Main Stage.
These people have made an amazing show. Genius isn't a word to use lightly, but I think this might be it. #ROHGrimes pic.twitter.com/s4j7kD3unT

What an absolute triumph this was. I can't tell you how completely @deborahwarner59 gets this opera, and how well every component falls into place #ROHGrimes pic.twitter.com/u9bpCwgQZU

Following my earlier Tweet about anticipating #petergrimes this was one the best nights at an opera I have ever had. Possibly THE best. Thrilling. And I saw #DameJanetBaker in the audience! Amazing evening. Every singer was wonderful and the chorus were magnificent

#ROHGrimes a simply staggering show. @fatboyclayton on fire in his storytelling with a beautiful sound to lift the poetry as needed. Deborah Warnerโs edgy Borough vivid. Bravi all!

What to say about #ROHGrimes @TheRoyalOpera? I think it's one of the most emotionally-draining & superbly realised versions I've ever seen. No words can do justice to @fatboyclayton as Grimes โ shattering & superbly-sung. Undoubtedly one of the @TheRoyalOpera's great nights.

Deborah Warnerโs production of Peter Grimes at ROH is one of the greatest things Iโve ever seen on stage, and @fatboyclayton delivered possibly the most complete performance of anything across any stage discipline Iโve ever seen, just iconic
