"What Harbor Shelters Peace?"
(Amazon.com)
When Benjamin Britten's "Peter Grimes" premiered in 1945,
English opera regained a currency that had been missing
since the works of Henry Purcell more than three centuries
earlier. In this and subsequent operas, Britten addressed a
theme frequently dramatized on the opera stage--the conflict
between individual expression and the need for social order.
Yet he did so, as Amazon.com contributor Joe A. Nickell
demonstrates, with a unique vision that transformed the
postwar perception of opera's scope.
