Bryan worked with Joan Cross on her unpublished autobiography. Britten's version of Gay's Beggars Opera was written for the 1948 opening season of the English Opera Group, directed by Tyrone Guthrie at the Cambridge Arts Theatre. As Donald Mitchell has written 'The last of the trinity of chamber operas or 'realisations', to use Britten's own term, of John Gay's The Beggars Opera, a coruscatingly brilliant exercise in digging out the totally unexpected from what were often 'traditional' tunes, often by contrapuntal means, canon especially here, as also in his many folk-song arrangements for voice and piano or orchestra. Britten, by treating the melodies as if he had composed them himself, succeeds in creating a work wholly in his own musical image. This is an opera which remains much underestimated. Its dazzling counterpoint alone secures it a special place in the evolution of Britten's compositional techniques' (ODNB).
