Presented by English Touring Opera
17 April 7:30 PM Buy Tickets
First produced in 2004, ETO’s hugely successful production of the Britten/Shakespeare masterpiece returns. In a fairy-haunted wood, lovers’ knots are tangled, and strange dreams create monstrous romances. Only in a hilarious play performed by working men are all the opera’s tensions and enchantments eased. Michael Rosewell conduct’s Britten’s eerie, highly theatrical score, with a cast led by Jonathan Peter Kenny and Andrew Slater.

‘***** Hike miles to see this … ETO’s staging of Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is wonderful beyond words. A corker of a show from a tip-top team’
