Venue: Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center.

Set in Great Britain’s idyllic Suffolk countryside, Benjamin Britten’s Albert Herring follows the story of a bashful and unsuspecting shopkeeper’s assistant who finds himself unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight. When the village’s annual May Queen ceremony lacks a virtuous candidate, Albert Herring is crowned the first-ever May King–a decision that sets the stage for a series of antics and unexpected transformations.

Filled with eccentric characters, a clever libretto and a touch of mischief, Britten’s opera explores societal norms, self-discovery and the power of individuality.
