What is currently on at Glyndebourne (V671)

A Midsummer Night's Dream

T1033796885
An operatic version of Shakespeare's fantasy play. With great skill and sensitivity, Britten presents the play as a charming opera, retaining the serene magic of the forest, the distress of the lovers, Puck's mischief, and Bottom's lamentably amateur theatre company.

Music	Benjamin Britten
Author	Shakespeare
Adapted by	Benjamin Britten
Adapted by	Peter Pears
