## Resource

Is Peter Grimes the villain, or just his town’s biggest HR violation? Musicologist and Britten scholar Dr. Imani Mosley joins us to discuss the original problematic Grimes. And since Peter Grimes is the only Britten opera on this list, it’s a jam-packed episode as we navigate the seas of judgment in Suffolk, the work’s 1945 premiere, and the lasting influence of Britten on opera. Follow Imani on Instagram at @idm and on BlueSky at @imanimosley.bsky.social . Listen to her talk about how much Percy Grainger sucked (and heal your inner band kid who had to play “Country Gardens” at every grade-school spring concert) over at This Guy Sucked .
