About the Show/Event
Information for A Midsummer Night's Dream at Garsington Opera, High Wycombe (Opera or Operetta). 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. Sung in English with English supertitles
