Well, how about Albert? Benjamin Britten's only true comedy, Albert Herring, is about a shy, innocent boy who, frustrated with small-town conventions, breaks free from the expectations of society and discovers his confidence, independence, and self-worth. This three-act chamber opera was composed in 1946-47, with a libretto by Eric Crozier based on Guy de Maupassant's novella Le Rosier de Madame Husson. 135m
