Information for A Midsummer Night's Dream at Theatre Royal, Newcastle upon Tyne (Opera or Operetta). An operatic version of Shakespeare's fantasy play. With great skill and sensitivity, Britten presents the play as a charming opera, retaining the serene magic of the forest, the distress of the lovers, Puck's mischief, and Bottom's lamentably amateur theatre company. Performed in English with English subtitles.
Approximate runtime 3 hours (including any interval).
