Pears, Peter Neville Luard (1910–1986)
English tenor. He was the life companion of Benjamin Britten and with him co-founded the Aldeburgh Festival. He inspired and collaborated with Britten in a rich catalogue of song cycles and operatic roles, exploiting a distinctively airy and luminous tone, from the title role in Peter Grimes (1947) to Aschenbach in Death in Venice (1973).
