Description : Set design for the first staged performance of Peter Grimes in Italy at La Scala, Milan, March 1947

The set design by the German theatre designer Caspar Neher (1897–1962) for a street by the sea, as printed in the programme, shows a quay lined with Italianate houses and a cupola in the distance, very different from the seafront at Aldeburgh.
