Inhalt: |
Jonathan Kent's spectacular production of Purcell's huge semi-opera is joyous, imaginative and witty. Glyndebourne, with its intimate auditorium, provides the perfect setting for a drama which is partly spoken and partly sung. Based on an adaptation of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, the story is lavished with a briIliance that justifies this production's acclaim. PauI 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. |
