Charming tenor Alek Schrader makes his LA Opera debut as the virginal Albert Herring, a young mama's boy who becomes the "King of the May" for his village. The honor typically goes to a fair local maiden, but alas, Albert is the only innocent to be found this year. After some overindulgence in "liquid courage" at his coronation ceremony, Albert finally finds the nerve to seek out adventure for himself. Despite the lighthearted nature of the plot and the genuinely funny text, Albert Herring is musically complex and was proclaimed "the greatest comic opera of the century" by Ukrainian pianist Sviatoslav Richter. LA Opera makes it more accessible to audiences by presenting the English-language work with the text projected onto a screen.

Very enjoyable, mild comic opera. Excellent cast and production, good orchestra seats. Needed the projected titles though, even if it was in English.Written on Feb 29 2012

Dull, uninspired kitsch. We left during intermission. I hate to see LA Opera putting such crap on the stage.Written on Mar 05 2012
