Opera 2: Albert Herring, By Benjamin Britten
31 August, 7 – 10pm

In picture postcard middle England, the village elders can’t find a morally inscrutable May Queen to crown their May Day activities – until they come upon the novel idea of instead appointing a May King, the seemingly innocent Albert Herring. The perfect companion to ‘Alfred’, ‘Albert Herring’ is a joyous (and slightly satirical) celebration of quaint English village life. Performed by Aspect Opera.
