“Even if it doesn’t follow Shakespeare to the letter, The Fairy Queen features something for almost everyone. First, there’s the music, some of Purcell’s most inventive. And there are scenes of slapstick and drag, a drunken poet or two, dancing monkeys, (and) swans.” — NPR
A companion to A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Purcell’s “Restoration Spectacular” brings Shakespeare’s comedic world of lovers, fairies, and misunderstandings to the concert stage. Produced in partnership with Sanford Performing Arts Center and featuring Ballet Bloom Project and Bunny Wonderland.
