Albert Herring (1985)
Directed by Peter Hall
Overview
Accompanied by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, composer Benjamin Britten’s satirical look at life in an English market town delivers plenty of laughs. When Lady Billows (Patricia Johnson) realizes no girls in town are worthy of the May Queen title, she crowns virtuous Albert Herring (John Graham-Hall), the greengrocer’s son, as the village’s May King. The comic opera features a strong ensemble cast including Alan Opie and Felicity Palmer.
