Opera in three acts. Glyndebourne's production of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' is pure magic. Brilliantly adapted from Shakespeare's play, the opera follows the adventures of four lovers and a group of naive rustics who, in a wood on a moonstruck midsummer night, fall foul of Oberon and Tytania, the quarrelling king and queen of the fairies. In Hall's remarkable staging the very wood comes alive as logs and trees move and rustle, creating ambiguous silhouettes in the dark mysterious woodland, lit only by designer John Bury's wonderful rising sun and moon.
