The dream of a nigth of summer Comic opera in three acts Approximate duration: 2 hours and 20 minutes (with an interval) Music by JOAQUÍN GAZTAMBIDE Libretto by Patricio de la Escosura , in an adaptation by Raúl Asenjo New production by the Teatro de la Zarzuela A Midsummer Night's Dream , by Joaquín Gaztambide, was premiered in February 1852 at the Teatro del Circo in Madrid. We find music of great quality and melodic delicacy that, in its day, was very popular with the public. Participating in this recovery of comic opera are a veteran musical director of this stage, Miguel Ángel Gómez-Martínez, who considers Gaztambide "interesting, amusing and possessing extraordinary musical quality", and a stage director, Marco Carniti —who works for the first time on this stage—, which wants us to enjoy the beauty of a play that happily passes between dream and reality. The libretto has been completely revised and the action moves to the city of Rome in the 1950s. The plot introduces us to an aristocratic Italian lady who decides to subsidize the filming of the first zarzuela for the big screen in order to bring this genre to the whole world through cinema.
