A Midsummer Night's Dream

Adapted from the work of William Shakespeare –– Direction: Kristóf Szabó (a. G.)

Despite the fairy-tale plot and the merry confusion in which the play's characters get entangled, Shakespeare also reveals the dark sides of love: jealousy and possessiveness, the struggle for power and the fight between the sexes. In the early 19th century, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy composed the overture and incidental music for A Midsummer Night's Dream, and in the 20th century Benjamin Britten wrote the opera of the same name. There are film adaptations of the drama, including the classic created by Max Reinhardt and William Dieterle in Hollywood in 1935, and John Neumeier's ballet, now playing in Hamburg and in the repertoire of many major European cultural institutions...
