The Fairy Queen, (La Reine des Fées) is a semi-opera in five acts and a prologue, composed by Purcell in 1692, after Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. The libretto, which follows the play from afar, is anonymous. Purcell then reigns supreme over the English musical world; he has already composed works which, even today, make him an essential genius (Dido and Aeneas, King Arthur, Ode to Saint Cecilia, Sonatas, etc.)
Written by Shakespeare on the occasion of an aristocratic marriage, adapted with splendor for the London public of the Restoration, the comedy, which became semi-opera, interweaves during the same night an aristocratic marriage, pastoral idylls, loves of the theater, played by amateur actors and the marital conflicts between Oberon and Titania, rulers of the elves.

The sylvan darkness, the liberating force of the dream and the capricious influence of the moon favoring amorous contagion, the work covers the range of feeling and the whole range of laughter with a fantasy that makes it a peak of Baroque spectacle. "Shakespeare's theater is a cabinet of curiosities in which the history of the world passes before our eyes, suspended in the invisible thread of time", said Goethe. It is taken up by the director Caroline Mutel who takes this look at Purcell's work: "if one chooses not to represent a libretto which distorts Shakespeare's play, Fairy Queen is a blank page leaving the words of the music tell other stories, far from stage directions and elves in bloomers".

English

The Fairy Queen, (La Reine des Fées) est un semi-opéra en cinq actes et un prologue, composé par Purcell en 1692, d’après le Songe d’une nuit d’été de Shakespeare. Le livret, qui suit de très loin la pièce, est anonyme. Purcell règne alors en maître sur le monde musical anglais ; il a déjà composé des œuvres qui, aujourd’hui encore, font de lui un génie incontournable (Didon et Enée, King Arthur, Ode à Sainte Cécile, Sonates…)
Écrite par Shakespeare à l’occasion d’un mariage aristocratique, adaptée avec faste pour le public londonien de la Restauration, la comédie, devenue semi-opéra, entremêle au cours d’une même nuit un hymen aristocratique, des idylles pastorales, des amours de théâtre, joués par des comédiens amateurs et les conflits conjugaux opposant Obéron et Titania, souverains des elfes.

L’obscurité sylvestre, la force libératoire du rêve et l’influence capricieuse de la lune favorisant la contagion amoureuse, l’œuvre parcourt l’éventail du sentiment et toute la gamme du rire avec une fantaisie qui en fait un sommet du spectacle baroque. « Le théâtre de Shakespeare est un cabinet de curiosités dans lequel l’histoire du monde passe devant nos yeux, suspendue au fil invisible du temps », disait Goethe. Il est repris par la metteuse en scène Caroline Mutel qui porte ce regard sur l’œuvre de Purcell : « si l’on choisit de ne pas représenter un livret qui dénature la pièce de Shakespeare, Fairy Queen est une page blanche laissant les mots de la musique raconter d’autres histoires, loin des didascalies et des elfes en culottes bouffantes ».
