Opera Theatre Docent Presentation: A Midsummer Night's Dream
Come join us as we take a look at the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis’ A Midsummer Night’s Dream by Benjamin Britten
Not all enchantments fade with the dawn.
When fairies and mortals cross paths, mayhem is sure to follow. Fairy king Oberon and his wife Tytania are locked in a quarrel when a group of unhappy young lovers wanders into their forest. Oberon dispatches the mischievous sprite Puck to resolve the young lovers’ strife with the help of a magical elixir... but when Puck applies that elixir to the wrong people, chaos erupts across the forest. The young paramours enter a dark and surreal dream world where plans of revenge go hand-in-hand with seduction. Britten’s hypnotizing score sets the perfect atmosphere for this journey into love’s absurdities.
