LA Opera: Albert Herring in Los Angeles
LA Opera: Albert Herring
A Virginal Mama’s Boy has the Night of his Life.
It is spring in a bucolic English country village, the season for the May Festival committee to choose a May Queen from the lovely village girls. Disastrously, no maiden of sufficient virtue can be found, so Albert Herring, a meek mama's boy, reluctantly becomes Loxford's first May King. But when his friends surreptitiously ply him with liquid courage at the coronation ceremony, Albert breaks out of his shell with a drunken spree that scandalizes the village busybodies.
James Conlon conducts an acclaimed Santa Fe Opera production directed by Paul Curran, hailed as "a corking good time" (James M. Keller, The New Mexican). Tenor charmer Alek Shrader, reprising the role of his Santa Fe triumph, makes his Company debut as Albert.
