About
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 the drama which is partly spoken and partly sun. Based on an adaptation of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream,
