Welcome to a poetic tale of love, betrayal, obsession and magic!

Henry Purcell 's The Fairy Queen from 1682 builds on one of Shakespeare 's most beloved classics, A Midsummer Night's Dream , and transforms it into an iconic semi-opera, a form that was very popular in England around the turn of the 16th-17th century. We perform the work with vocal soloists, choir, orchestra and spoken dialogue.

After Purcell's death in 1695, the score disappeared and the notes were not available until 1901 when they appeared at The Royal Academy of Music. Today, arias such as The Plaint and Thrice Happy Lovers have taken on lives of their own in the concert repertoire.

The Fairy Queen takes place in a sumptuous time with seldom-seen scenes from the theatre's rich decorative treasure and with fantastic costume splendor.

Opera is like no other art form and the audience will be thrown into a maze of secret identities, power and magical illusions.

Francesco Corti takes over as music director at Drottningholm's Slottsteater in 2023. As a harpsichordist, organist and conductor, he is well established on the early music scene.

He works regularly with orchestras such as Les Musiciens du Louvre and Pomo d'Oro, and has made many recordings as a conductor, soloist and chamber musician. Both his CD Little Books , a musical journey through the Bach family manuscripts, and Winged Hands , Handel's suites and overtures, have been awarded the Diapason d'Or, which awards outstanding classical music recordings.

He leads master classes all over Europe, in Latin America and in Asia. Since 2016, he teaches harpsichord at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel, Switzerland, one of the world's leading music institutes for early music.

Josette Bushell-Mingo is an award-winning actor and director with roles at the Royal Shakespeare Company, National Theater and Manchester Royal Exchange in the UK. She was nominated for an Olivier Award for her role as Rafiki in the West End musical The Lion King and made the internationally acclaimed production Nina: A Story about Me and Nina Simone .

She has been a lecturer and head of department at the Department of Acting, Stockholm University of the Arts and is currently the principal of the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London.

In 2001 she founded the PUSH arts festival at the Young Vic, with the aim of enabling more black actors to perform on London's stages. Through her work with PUSH, she was awarded an Order of the British Empire (OBE) - for Services to the Arts. For 13 years she was the artistic director of Riksteaterns Tyst Teater.

Välkomna till en poetisk berättelse om kärlek, svek, besatthet och magi!

Henry Purcells The Fairy Queen från 1682 bygger på en av Shakespeares mest älskade klassiker, En midsommarnattsdröm, och förvandlar den till en ikonisk semi-opera, en form som var mycket populär i England kring sekelskiftet 16-1700.  Vi ger verket med sångsolister, kör, orkester och talad dialog. 

Efter Purcells död 1695 försvann partituret och noterna fanns inte tillgängliga förrän 1901 när de dök upp på The Royal Academy of Music. Idag har arior som The Plaint och Thrice Happy Lovers fått egna liv på konsertrepertoaren. 

The Fairy Queen utspelar sig i en överdådig tid med sällan visade scenbilder ur teaterns rika dekorskatt och med en fantastisk kostymprakt.

Opera är som ingen annan konstform och publiken kommer att kastas in i en labyrint av hemliga identiteter, makt och magiska illusioner.

Både hans cd Little Books, en musikalisk resa genom Bach-familjens manuskript, och Winged Hands, Händels sviter och ouvertyrer, har tilldelats Diapason d’Or som premierar enastående klassiska musikinspelningar.

Han leder master classes över hela Europa, i Latinamerika och i Asien. Sedan 2016 undervisar han i cembalo vid Schola Cantorum Basiliensis i Basel, Schweiz, ett av världens främsta musikinstitut för tidig musik.
