SUMMARY:Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears at the Red House\, with Christophe
 r Hilton
DESCRIPTION:[button link="https://www.haslemerehall.co.uk/sales/genres/talk
 s/benjamin-britten" color="silver" newwindow="yes"] Tickets[/button]\n£6 
 from Haslemere Hall Box Office\n\nChristopher Hilton will talk about the c
 omposer Benjamin Britten\, his partner the singer Peter Pears\, the life t
 hat they shared together at their home in Aldeburgh\, the Red House and th
 e collections that they have left us.\n\nThose collections mean that we ca
 n see the house very much as they left it and explore an archive of unpara
 lleled richness that tells the stories of their professional lives and\, m
 ost unusually\, gives us insight into the lives of a gay couple at a time 
 when their relationship was illegal.\n\nAlong the way\, Christopher will t
 ell some of the stories that we find in the archive\, featuring tales of y
 oung men and fast cars\, post-war reconciliation coming into conflict with
  Soviet bureaucracy\, and a cameo appearance from Queen Elizabeth II...\n\
 nChristopher Hilton is Head of Archive and Library at Britten Pears Arts.
