"Oberon"

"Oberon": Romantic Opera Based on "A Midsummer Night's Dream"

Carl Maria Von Weber's "Oberon" immediately transports you into the magical, moonlit groves of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream", beginning with the first strains of the spellbinding overture. In this 1826 operatic masterpiece, Oberon, the king of the fairies, enlists the help of the mischievous Puck to find true love amongst the humans. However, chaos is conjured instead when a host of elves, pirates, mermaids and other magical beings attempt to thwart their quest. Nick Olcott directs this new English adaptation at GALA Hispanic Theatre in Washington D.C.
