Be prepared with A Midsummer Night’s Dream for more than a vivid retelling of Shakespeare’s classic story. This tour-de-force opera by Benjamin Britten ranks right up there with Verdi’s masterpieces and the all-time best of comic opera. The inventive and enchanting score offers a rich display of musical parody mimicking the entangled story-lines and character interactions.
