An den Cellisten Hans Hagen (19022002) in Berlin: „[…] As I have already had to write to the Stadtrat Mayerburg, I am afraid I must return to England on March 16th for professional purposes, – so cannot attend the performance of my ‚Albert Herring‘ at the Caciliensaal on March 19th etc. I am very sorry because I am sure I should have enjoyed it. Would you please give the performers my best wishes, and thank them for their efforts on my & my work’s behalf […]“. – Brittens Oper „Albert Herring“ wurde im Juni 1947 uraufgeführt, später mehrmals an der Komischen Oper, Berlin.
