Opera at Western: Albert Herring

Opera at Western presents Benjamin Britten’s Albert Herring, a charming comic opera that is a wonderful story for all ages and families. Albert is a young man who is offered the honour of becoming the "May King" after no one appropriate can be found to be the May Queen in a small community. But there are of course many little problems and characters along the way with issues and relationships that make for an amazing and humorous story.

Sung in English.
