Tony Palmer's classic film about Benjamin Britten & His Festival. A behind the scenes look at the Aldeburgh Festival and the opening by the Queen of the new concert hall at Snape.

This was the first film made by the BBC ever to be networked in the USA, and the first of Tony Palmer's three portraits of the great composer, the others being the Italia Prize-winning 'A Time There Was', and the multi-award winning 'Nocturne', made for the 100th anniversary of Britten's birth.
