A lovers’ quarrel, a host of fairies, unrequited affection and that pixie Puck—such stuff is the merrymaking of Shakespeare’s A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM! In this spellbinding staging of Benjamin Britten’s ethereal opera, exhilarating orchestrations of marimbas, djembes and ululation resound with South Africa’s rich choral traditions when the commanding cast of the Isango Ensemble lifts up their voices to weave African folklore into Shakespeare’s most celebrated comedy. Madness, magic and music collide to mesmerizing effect in this deliciously romantic and enchanting evening.
