Peter returns to the Royal Opera House main stage to create the role of Gbatokai in the world premiere of Mark-Anthony Turnage’s Festen.

Decorum descends into chaos in this piercing new opera of trauma and complicity. Acclaimed contemporary composer Mark-Anthony Turnage (Anna Nicole, Coraline) and librettist Lee Hall (Billy Elliott) come together with director Richard Jones (La bohème, Samson et Dalila) to adapt Oscar-winning filmmaker Thomas Vinterberg’s (The Hunt, Another Round) 1998 film. An international cast, conducted by Edward Gardner, and led by Allan Clayton, Stéphane Degout, Gerald Finley and Eva-Maria Westbroek takes on this operatic world premiere.
