SUMMARY:The Atlanta Opera presents 'A Midsummer  Night's Dream'
DESCRIPTION:Lovers\, Lunatics\, and Magic! Mismatched lovers\, magic gone askew\, immortals toying with the lives of the mortals\, and the pompous asses are not always who you think they are. A Midsummer Night’s Dream\, an opera by Benjamin Britten\, invites you in for a fantastical comedy of a glam-rock ethereal fairy world intersecting with the locals while the hilarious rustics bumble through a play-within-a-play at their Duke’s wedding. The ultimate blitz of musical joy! \n\n\n\n21st-century technology wraps around the simplicity of Shakespeare’s Globe Theater to stage a world hovering between fantasy and reality. This brand-new production will light up your imagination. \n\n\n\nTHE ATLANTA OPERA’s production of  Benjamin Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream features the company debut of Grammy-winning countertenor Iestyn Davies as Oberon\, King of the Fairies.
