In diesem Video sehen Sie den Einführungsvortrag von Dramaturgin Deborah Einspieler zu Benjamin Brittens Oper »A Midsummer Night's Dream«, die am 11. Mai in der Inszenierung von Brigitte Fassbaender und unter der musikalischen Leitung von Geoffrey Paterson im Bockenheimer Depot Premiere feiert.

Shakespeare's comedy A Midsummer Night's Dreamhad already experienced numerous settings when Benjamin Britten and his partner, the tenor Peter Pears, wrote the opera for the Aldeburgh Festival, which he founded. The two are based closely on the literary model, but shorten the original five-act comedy to three acts. The opera was actually written for a chamber orchestra, but after Britten recognized the opportunity to depict the different worlds of mythical creatures, lovers and craftsmen in the material, he expanded the score for a larger orchestra. The result is a colorful composition, which shapes the fairy world with harp glissandi, xylophone and celesta in addition to Oberon's countertenor voice, Titania's coloratura and Puck's spoken words. 

In the magic forest you are no longer green. Jealousy and marital disputes reign over a young Indian prince between Oberon and Titania. Oberon seeks revenge and assigns Puck to get him the magic juice that makes men and women fall in love with any creature that one sees after awakening. The forest is a magical place of constant transformation: the weaver Bottom, who is rehearsing a play for the wedding of the ducal couple with his friends, is transformed into a donkey, with which the elf queen Titania falls in love. And then Puck accidentally sprinkles the false eyelids of the sleeping lovers with the nectar of the magic flower, causing a chaos of emotions. In the early morning the beautiful haunted house, the summer dream, is over and a new day dawns.
