Approved

A visually striking and atmospheric production of Britten’s retelling of Shakespeare’s tale is co-produced with Santa Fe Opera and will include members of our Youth Company as the children’s chorus. We are delighted that this large ensemble cast will feature returning Garsington artists, including Iestyn Davies and Lucy Crowe, bringing magic to the Opera Pavilion with its enchanting garden setting.

In a mystical world, humans are muddled and misled by the inhabitants of a fairy world, becoming the playthings of the quarrelling King Oberon and Queen Tytania. This tale of enchantment, madness and love is brought to life through Britten’s extraordinary orchestration, creating a sound-world of unearthly beauty. We welcome back Netia Jones as director/designer and Douglas Boyd to conduct our resident orchestra the Philharmonia, who have brought world-class playing to Garsington over the last few years.
