Details
A mournful moon, a cowardly lion, an unruly wall and two bumbling Roman lovers: Shakespeare's comic reworking - in A Midsummer Night's Dream - of Ovid's Pyramus and Thisbe story is one of the best-loved comic episodes in theatre. Set the ill-fated love story to Lampe's late Baroque music, parody the pomposity of the day's Italian Opera with all its divas, and the result is a scintillating early English comic opera full of musical and theatrical fireworks.
