Prologue
Peter Grimes!
You sailed your boat
Peter Grimes, I here advise you!
The truth...the pity...
Interlude I: On the beach

Act 1
Oh, hang at open doors
Hi! give us a hand
I have to go from pub to pub
Let her among you
Look, the storm cone!
And do you prefer the storm
What harbour shelters peace
Interlude II: The Storm
Past time to close!
We live and let live
Have you heard?
Now the Great Bear and Pleiades
Old Joe has gone fishing
The bridge is down, we half swam over

Act 2
Interlude III: Sunday morning by the beach
Glitter of waves
Let this be a holiday
This unrelenting work
Fool to let it come to this!
What is it?
People!...No! I will speak!
We planned that their lives
Swallow! Shall we go
Now is gossip put on trial
From the gutter
Interlude IV: Passacaglia
Go there!
Now!...Now!
Peter Grimes! Nobody here?

Act 3
Interlude V: Evening (Moonlight)
Assign your prettiness to me
Pah! 2:49
Come along, Doctor!
Embroidery in childhood
Mr.Swallow!
Who holds himself apart
Interlude VI: Fog
Grimes! Grimes!
Peter, we´ve come to take you home
To those who pass the Borough
