10. Pears' true successor
The tenor Philip Langridge played Peter Grimes in the 1991 English National Opera production. Many regarded Langridge as Peter Pears' true successor; they shared similar vocal qualities. He recorded many of Pears' famous roles, including Grimes and Quint in The Turn of the Screw. Photo © ENO/Clive Barda
