Albert Herring

Album by Benjamin Britten & Manhattan School of Music Opera Theater & David Gilbert

Albert Herring is a chamber opera by the English composer Benjamin Britten, premiered in 1947. The work combines comic, domestic drama with Britten's clear tonal language and succinct, colourful orchestration, and it represents a move towards smaller-scale, more intimate subjects in his post-war operatic output.
