The result is a fresh-and-fun riff on Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, as seen through Queen Titania’s eyes.
The Fairy Queen is one of Henry Purcell's most impressive creations.
Loosely based on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, the opera pulls from the Purcell’s genius to blend mystery, love and mischief.
The performance will be narrated by Antonia Christophers, a British actress whose performing credits include HBO’s Game of Thrones; the BBC drama The Hour; Buxton Opera House and UK tour of The Graduate; and many more.
The production features the renowned British baritone Matthew Brook and countertenor Robin Blaze in a number of comic roles taken from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Brook has been acclaimed for his performances around the world, including Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and the Barbican, while Blaze is known for his numerous roles at the English National Opera.
Purcell's inventive, kaleidoscopic score includes additional roles performed by leading members of the H+H Chorus.
