- Summary:
- Benjamin Britten's comic opera, which is gently laced with moments of farce, is a jocular parody of life in East Suffolk at the turn of the 20th century. Albert Herring is a quaint, nostalgic journey to a bygone England and the journey has come full circle back to Glyndebourne where this piece was premiered in 1947. The ensuing antics are brilliantly characterized by a strong British cast in this production, which is infused with freshness and limitless charm. Expertly conducted by Bernard Haitink, this archive recording showcases some of Britain's finest singers in this landmark production by Peter Hall.
