Ole Joe has Gone Fishing Peter Grimes

This opera is WAY too UNDER rated. It is a magnificent piece of work. And I LOVE this clip!

met opera posted old simulcasts during Covid and this was one of them, I agree, a fantastic work of music and drama!

This opera is WAY too OVERRATED and I will never understand the acclaim it receives . The so-called music is like rancid vinegar, stinging, sour and angry, devoid of lyricism and even minor snatches of melody. I have been an ardent opera fan for 56 years and mercifully never sat through this, although I was once tortured by attending Death in Venice.
