Opera North - A Midsummer Night's Dream

Step into the magic

Shakespeare’s riotous comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, is brought to operatic life. Mischievous schemes and magic potions set off a chain of hysterical events and love triangles. As the consequences unfurl, the stories of fairies, mortals and amateur actors will intertwine, but after all is said and done, will there be a loved-up happy ending?

This mind-bending production relocates the fun and frolics to the 1960s, so expect sequins and paisley suits, giant plastic balloons and the ‘sexy-yet-sinister magic’ (The Guardian) of Benjamin Britten’s music.
