A new production of Purcell’s masterpiece, this Fairy Queen focuses on youthfulness and inventiveness for near-total spectacle !

In an enchanted forest, reality meets dreams, illusion and the supernatural, while the paths and love stories of young Athenians, woodland fairies and a troupe of actors cross.

Inspired by A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Fairy Queen draws on Shakespeare’s comedy to create a funny yet magical tale that continues to amaze more than 300 years after its creation. Performed for the first time in London in 1692, just three years before Purcell’s untimely death at the age of 35, this semi-opera is the work of a young prodigy. It features some of the most beautiful arias he ever composed – such as the very poignant “O let me weep” or the lively “Thrice happy lovers” – in which his artful counterpoint and his sense of theatre are truly showcased.
