A Midsummer Night's Dream

"Asleep, my love" from A Midsummer Night's Dream

Experience Shakespeare’s lilting language in dazzling operatic apparel! Two pairs of young lovers, more or less frustrated, flee into the woods to escape conventions and demands and to find their true selves. But the forest means not only freedom, fancy and dreams – but also nightmares, chaos and folly. The woods are the domain of Oberon and his queen Titania, who are in the middle of a marital crisis so serious that the whole of nature is in a state of imbalance.

Sorcery, entanglements and distorted perceptions of reality mean that everything is turned upside down for those seeking love in the woods. A forest that is more a psychological location than a physical one, in this contemporary interpretation of Shakespeare’s immortal comic fantasy. Together with his lifelong companion, Peter Pears, Benjamin Britten shortened Shakespeare’s text to form an operatic libretto, and wrote beautiful, dreamy music for it. Under the direction of Tobias Theorell, the merry tale is transformed into an exploration of the subconscious.

English

Upplev Shakespeares sjungande språk i lysande operaskrud! Två unga kärlekspar, mer eller mindre frustrerade, flyr in i skogen för att undkomma konventioner och krav och komma närmare sina sanna jag. Men skogen är inte bara frihet, lust och drömmar – utan också mardröm, djuriskhet och galenskap. I skogen härskar älvakungen Oberon och drottningen Titania, som befinner sig mitt i en äktenskapskris så allvarlig att hela naturen har kommit i obalans.

Trolldom, förvecklingar och förvridna verklighetsuppfattningar gör att allt vänds upp och ned för de kärlekssökande i skogen. En skog som är mer en psykologisk plats än en fysisk, i denna moderna tolkning av Shakespeares odödliga fantasykomedi. Benjamin Britten kortade tillsammans med livskamraten Peter Pears ned Shakespeares text till ett operalibretto och skrev till det drömsk och vacker musik. I Tobias Theorells regi förvandlas den muntra sagan till ett utforskande av det undermedvetna.
