DescriptionOpened January 16th 2009. The Howard Assembly Room is one of Leeds’ most impressive and distinctive Victorian buildings, with a barrel vaulted ceiling, gothic motifs and arched windows. The Howard Assembly Room at Opera North takes its name from Doctor Keith Howard, generous benefactor of the Opera North Transformation project. The Howard Assembly Room forms part of the Opera North Centre in association with the University of Leeds, which incorporates the performance space, rehearsal rooms, and the administration offices for Opera North.

Synopsis

May Day is looming, and the small town of Loxford is in chaos. All the potential May Queens are morally unsuitable. Desperate, the locals decide a May King will have to do instead. They choose the blameless Albert Herring, from the greengrocers. He isn't keen, but stuck firmly under his mother's thumb, he'll do what he is told. However, after one rum-laced lemonade at the May Day ceremony, Albert disappears, and even greater chaos ensues. Britten's sharply satiric take on village life makes for a glorious and very English comedy.
