A Midsummer Night's Dream November 17, 2010

David Daniels reigns supreme in "a production that's pure delight." Opera News

Shakespeare's best-loved comedy is an equally bewitching opera!

Britten's score literally shimmers and breathes — capturing perfectly the ethos of an enchanted forest where magical things can and do happen (with a few dark undertones to keep things interesting)!

Here, four star-crossed lovers and a troop of bumbling actors find themselves at the mercy of fairies — whose king, Oberon, is in the middle of a major spat with his queen, Tytania. Watch what happens when that charmed love-dust starts flying!

A captivating children's chorus, the hilarious "play within a play" (one of opera's funniest scenes)...the joys of the dream go on and on.
