Brummell (opera)

Brummell is a 1931 operetta in three acts and five scenes by Reynaldo Hahn to a libretto by Rip and Robert Dieudonné.

[1] Beau Brummel meets with Jim, who is taking part in a boxing match.

As Brummell has lost a lot of money at the Derby, Peggy suggests he retreats to the Surrey countryside.

The Prince of Wales rebukes Brummell for having deserted high society in favour of a laundress who will not even consent to be his mistress.

Complete performances were broadcast on French radio in 1946 (when the cast included Gérard Souzay), in 1950 and 1952, and in 1962 with Aime Doniat, Albert Voli, Gaston Rey, and the Orchestre Radio-Symphonique de Lille, conducted by Marcel Cariven.
