Hugh the Drover is funny, romantic, touching – and action packed. Set in 1810, with Bonaparte still striding over Europe, this very English of operas has a rumbustious Georgian flavour echoing the century just gone. With its jostling crowd, quick to give - and change - its opinions, and hero and villain bare-knuckle fighting for the girl, Vaughan Williams paints a colourful picture worthy of Rowlandson or Gillray. Add to this a love story beautifully told, of a sheltered, unhappy girl and a handsome traveller who sets her free. Hugh is as charming a piece as you will hear in a month of May Mornings.
