SUMMARY:Curtis Opera Theatre Presents: A Midsummer Night’s Dream
DESCRIPTION:Magic and mischief intertwine in Benjamin Britten’s enchanting adaptation of William Shakespeare’s romantic comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Critically acclaimed director Sarah Ina Meyers and dynamic international conductor Vinay Parameswaran lead a dazzling cast of young opera stars and members of Curtis Symphony Orchestra in this spellbinding production. Prepare to be transported to a twilight world where feuding fairies meddle with mortals\, hearts are led astray\, and the surreal world of dreams blurs the edges of reality. \nIn the depths of a dark forest outside Athens\, the fairy king Oberon and his queen\, Tytania\, clash in a battle of wits and wills as a group of impulsive lovers and an unsuspecting band of amateur actors wander into their moonlit realm. Seizing the opportunity to manipulate fate\, Oberon entrusts the impish sprite Puck to squeeze the juice of a mystic flower into the eyes of his queen and the quarreling lovers\, sparking a night of romantic chaos and surprising transformations. \nBENJAMIN BRITTEN\, music\nPETER PEARS\, libretto\nBased on the play by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE \nPlease note programs and artists are subject to change.
