Information for Prom 68 - Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream at Royal Albert Hall, Inner London (Concert). Part of the BBC Proms. Garsington Opera makes its Proms debut with Britten's most successful operatic export after Peter Grimes. In his night-scented adaptation of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, Britten leads his audience into a dream world, unravelling the nature of human interaction and love as he goes. Expect a force field of enchantment to fill the Royal Albert Hall in this semi-staged performance from one of Britain's most distinguished opera companies. There will be an interval.
