Event Description
Benjamin Britten’s opera is based on Shakespeare’s popular comedy, which follows the consequences of a falling-out between the fairy-king Oberon and his queen, Tytania. Mistaken identities, confused lovers and alarming transformations are the result. From the sliding string chords of the magic wood to the rustics’ well-intentioned entertainment, Britten’s ear for beguiling orchestration and melodic invention will enchant and entice.
Countertenor John Holiday and soprano Sydney Mancasola lead the cast in an all-new production led by Maestra Elizabeth Askren, directed by Chas Rader-Shieber, featuring scenic and costume design by Jacob A. Climer.
