Peter Grimes Peter Grimes is an opera by Benjamin Britten, with a libretto adapted by Montagu Slater from the narrative poem, "Peter Grimes," in George Crabbe's book "The Borough". The "borough" of the opera is a fictional village which shares some similarities with Crabbe's, and later Britten's, own home of Aldeburgh, a town on England's east coast.
Rogneda (opera) Rogneda (Russian: "Рогнеда" ) is an opera in five acts, composed by Alexander Serov between 1863 and 1865. The scenario, by the composer, was based on the novel "Askold's Grave" ("Аскольдова могила", 1833) by Mikhail Zagoskin and the poem "Rogneda" (ca. 1825) by Kondraty Ryleyev. The actual Russian libretto was created by Dmitry Averkiev in the same manner as with the composer's previous opera, "Judith", with the words written to fit the vocal lines "after" the music had been composed.
