Britten's Albert Herring - Final Performance

Benjamin Britten’s Albert Herring, a wonderfully witty depiction of English rural life, is the RIAM’s principal opera production in 2013.  Set in the imaginary East Suffolk town of Loxford, the opera charts the coming-of-age of the meek and mild Albert Herring after he is selected as the town’s first May King in the absence of any virtuous women. A touching and bittersweet comic opera, sparkling with character, wit, and at times great poignancy, directed by Lynne Parker and conducted by David Adams.
