Following our run of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Garsington Opera
this summer, we bring a semi-staged performance to the Royal Albert Hall stage as part of this year’s BBC Proms.

In a mystical world, humans are muddled and misled by the inhabitants of a fairy world. Becoming the playthings of the quarrelling King Oberon and Queen Tytania. This tale of enchantment, madness and love is brought to life through Britten’s extraordinary orchestration, creating a sound-world of unearthly beauty.

Royal Albert Hall

We bring Britten’s musical retelling of Shakespeare’s beloved A Midsummer Night’s Dream to the Garsington Opera stage.

Wormsley

Golaud, grandson of King Arkel, falls in love and marries the mysterious Mélisande. His half-brother Pelléas falls for Mélisande as well. It’s a love triangle of royal proportions.

Not seen here since 1977, Debussy’s symbolist masterpiece will be directed and designed by Netia Jones, who recently directed A Midsummer Night’s Dream. She presents us with a dreamlike and meditative world, which seems of no time and of all time. Four thrilling singers will have their SFO debuts this summer including baritone Huw Montague Rendall and mezzo-soprano Samantha Hankey.

Pelléas et Mélisande

Santa Fe Opera

ELECTRIC FIELDS is an immersive multimedia staged concert with music by Hildegard von Bingen, Barbara Strozzi, Francesca Caccini, Bryce Dessner, and David Chalmin. A meditation on the individual and the universal, ELECTRIC FIELDS reflects on aspects of the mystic, cosmic, temporal, and mortal in music that reaches through centuries and collapses time. Three virtuoso performers and five extraordinary composers from the 12th century to the 21st create a mesmeric exploration of music that defies definition, classification, and genre in a stunning 360-degree installation with interactive projections, costume, and light.
