Jonathan Kent’s spectacular production of Purcell’s huge semi-opera is joyous, imaginative and witty Glyndebourne, with its intimate auditorium, provides the perfect setting for a drama which is partly spoken and partly sung. Based on an adaptation of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Nights Dream, the story is lavished with a brilliance that justifies this productions acclaim. Paul Brown’s inventive designs, Kim Brandstrup’s exquisite choreography, an excellent cast of actors and singers and outstanding playing by the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment under William Christie combine to make a seamless theatrical experience, here recorded in High Definition and true surround sound.
“There are too many highlights to mention in this varied and infinitely delightful entertainment. Glyndebourne has a triumph on its hands.” (The Stage)
“The whole presentation combines charm and period musicality…In most respects visually and dramatically this is a triumph.” (The Penguin Guide)
“A riotously funny, ravishingly intelligent staging of Fairy Queen.” (BBC Music Magazine)
“…this DVD conveys an exceptionally spectacular event in the theatre.” (Gramophone)
