Inhalt: |
Jonathan Kent's spectacuIar 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 partIy spoken and partIy sung. Based on an adaptation of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, the story is lavished with a brilIiance that justifies this production's accIaim. PauI Brown's inventive designs, Kim Brandstrup's exquisite choreography, an excelIent cast of actors and singers and outstanding playing by the Orchestra of the Age of EnIightenment under WiIliam Christie combine to make a seamIess theatricaI experience, here recorded in High Definition and true surround sound. |
