ntroduction to the work
Works by Britain's greatest playwrights and opera composers

A mysterious love commotion surrounding two pairs of lovers!​ 

 

The opera “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is a beloved play by Shakespeare, a British playwright loved around the world, reborn as an opera by Benjamin Britten, the greatest British opera composer of the 20th century. It premiered at the Aldeburgh Festival in England in 1960 and is an English opera that is difficult to see in Korea. It is expected that a unique atmosphere will be created as a German director and composer will meticulously present a British work. Felix Krieger, a versatile conductor who digests a wide range of opera repertoires, leads the music of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and director Wolfgang Negele, who is creating his own directing world, presents realistic and contemporary characters rather than mythological characters. Together, we plan to ask the audience various questions such as reality, marriage, and freedom.​ 

synopsis
Overn, the king of the fairies, sends the fairy Puck on an errand for the love flower in order to connect two young couples. The love flower contained the magic of falling in love with the person you saw immediately after opening your eyes. However, due to a fairy's mistake, the wrong people fall in love. At this time, preparations for a play are in full swing in the village. Seeing this, Puck turns Bottom's head into a donkey as a joke and applies a love flower to Obern's wife, Titania. As a result, she falls in love with Bottom, who has the head of a donkey. Due to the sudden change in attitude, a fight begins between the young lovers and the fight spreads to Titania and Bottom. As everyone falls asleep, exhausted from the fight, Puck returns them to their original state. Those who wake up think it was all a midsummer night's dream.

작품소개
영국 최고의 극작가와 오페라 작곡가의 작품

두 쌍의 연인을 둘러싼 신비한 사랑의 소동!​ 

 

오페라 <한여름 밤의 꿈>은 전 세계의 사랑을 받는 영국의 극작가 셰익스피어의 사랑스러운 희곡이 20세기 최고의 영국 오페라 작곡가 벤자민 브리튼의 손에서 오페라로 재탄생한 작품이다. 1960년 영국 알데버러 축제에서 초연되었으며 국내에서 보기 어려운 영어 오페라다. 영국적인 작품을 독일 연출가와 작곡가가 꼼꼼하게 펼쳐 보일 예정으로 색다른 분위기를 만들어 낼 것으로 기대된다. 광범위한 오페라 레파토리를 소화하고 있는 다재다능한 지휘자 펠릭스 크리거가 <한여름 밤의 꿈>의 음악을 이끌며, 자신만의 연출 세계를 만들어가고 있는 연출가 볼프강 네겔레는 신화 속 인물이 아닌 현실적이고 동시대적인 캐릭터와 함께 현실, 결혼, 자유 등 다양한 질문을 관객들에게 던질 예정이다.​
