An den Cellisten Hans Hagen (19022002) in Berlin: „[…] I send my warmest thanks to you and all the members of the cast of ‚Albert Herring‘ for this kind letter wrote to me after the last performance. It gave me great pleasure – not only the news that the performance had been so successful, but also that you all had had such pleasure to working on my opera. I only wish it had been possible for me to extend my German visit and to have seen its perfomance […]“. – Brittens Oper „Albert Herring“ wurde im Juni 1947 uraufgeführt, später auch an der Komischen Oper, Berlin.
