Albert Herring
London Coliseum, WC2N 4ES , [Venue Details]In this ENO first, join us for May Day celebrations in a fresh and witty new take on Britten’s much-loved coming-of-age comedy.
Following the success of ENO’s previous semi-staged productions – Gloriana, Duke Bluebeard’s Castle, and Suor Angelica – Albert Herring will be directed and designed by multi-award winning Antony McDonald and conducted by Daniel Cohen, making his ENO debut on the podium.
Loxford, 1943. A typical small market town, where nothing escapes the eye of the redoubtable Lady Billows and her housekeeper Florence Pike. When there are no virtuous girls left in the village, the May Queen organising committee decide to break with tradition and crown the shy and innocent greengrocer’s boy Albert Herring as the May King.
But heavy is the head that wears the May King crown, and Albert’s friend Sid intervenes with some mischievous assistance throughout the day as Albert accepts his fate and the cash prize. Join us as Albert’s newfound village status leads to an alcohol-fuelled night of debauchery and self-discovery.
Showing in London and Salford, this funny, quirky and off-centre opera is the perfect commentary on small town eccentricities and will be sure to set curtains twitching and tongues wagging, up and down the country.
