PAUL BUNYAN is probably Britten’s least performed opera, even though it is a remarkable collaboration with the poet W.H. Auden. Musically charming, dreamlike, as surprising and innocent as a Chagall painting, this cross between an opera and a musical re-creates the great myth of the American frontier - peopled by a giant, an accountant, singing geese and cats, lumberjacks, and good and bad cooks.
