The Moores School of Music at the University of Houston presents Albert Herring, by Benjamin Britten. Friday, January 28, 7:30 pm Sunday, January 30, 7:30 pm. Buck Ross, producer/director. Dominique Røyem, music director.

A small British town is celebrating its annual May Festival. But no one can find a single girl pure enough to be crowned Queen of the May festival. So poor Albert Herring is crowned May King instead. Everything is going fine until someone spikes the punch!

A marvelous comedy populated by oh-so-veddy-British types, Albert Herring skewers pretentiousness and celebrates a life of pleasure.

Sung in the original English with English surtitles.

Running in repertory with The Magic Flute, by W.A. Mozart.

The Moores Opera Center, now entering its 25th year, provides the Houston area with professional, affordable, quality opera, ranging from classics to contemporary, and has featured many Houston and world premieres throughout its repertoire.
