Benjamin Britten’s opera is based on Shakespeare’s popular comedy, which follows the consequences of a falling-out between the fairy-king Oberon and his queen, Tytania. Mistaken identities, confused lovers and alarming transformations are the result. From the sliding string chords of the magic wood to the rustics’ well-intentioned entertainment, Britten’s ear for beguiling orchestration and melodic invention will enchant and entice.

A Midsummer Night's Dream by Britten, Sun 10 Jul 2022, From (2022/2022), Directed by Chas Rader-Shieber,, Conductor Elizabeth Askren, Blank Performing Arts Center, Indianola, United States
