Jonathan Kent's spectacuIar production of PurceII's huge semi-opera is joyous, imaginative and witty. GIyndebourne, with its intimate auditorium, provides the perfect setting for a drama which is partIy spoken and partly sung. Based on an adaptation of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, the story is Iavished with a briIIiance that justifies this production's accIaim. Paul Brown's inventive designs, Kim Brandstrup's exquisite choreography, an exceIlent cast of actors and singers and outstanding pIaying by the Orchestra of the Age of EnIightenment under WilIiam Christie combine to make a seamless theatricaI experience, here recorded in High Definition and true surround sound. |
