Hardly any other work in world literature breathes music like William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Elves dance at night in the enchanted summer forest and sing the fairy queen Titania to sleep. Music accompanies the wedding celebrations of the royal couple Hippolyta and Theseus and the young lovers Hermia and Lysander and Helena and Demetrius – when they have finally found each other on Midsummer Night after an erotic round of desires and disappointments, confusion and confusion. And music is also heard in the crudely funny game in the game "Pyramus and Thisbe" - performed by six "highly talented" craftsmen.

A Midsummer Night's Dream has inspired musicians for centuries. As a consistently successful opera, however, the piece only came to the stage a good 360 years after its creation, with Britten's setting, which premiered in 1960. For this purpose, he adapted Shakespeare's original text and set it to music as a fairytale-like, light masterpiece that repeatedly plays with witty references to the history of opera.

It was staged by the young American director Ted Huffman, who, after a series of directing works in France, recently attracted attention in German-speaking countries with his productions of Handel's RINALDO in Frankfurt, MADAMA BUTTERFLY at the Zurich Opera House and SALOME at the Cologne Opera House.
