Alex will be singing the role of ‘Vicar Gedge’ in Royal Birmingham Conservatoire’s Spring Opera of Benjamin Britten’s Albert Herring. Tonight will be the first of Alex’s two performances.
Directed by Rebecca Meltzer and conducted by Paul Wingfield, this production is generously supported by The Linbury Trust.
”Loxford, once a countryside idyll of manners and morals, has become a den of sin and shame. In the eyes of the committee not one local girl is demure enough to be placed on the pedestal of May Queen. Presided over by the indomitable Lady Billows a solution is found; a local boy might take on the mantle. Experience this romp of an opera as never before”.
