Genre: Opera
Director: Jonathan Kent
Synopsis: The Fairy Queen is Purcell’s joyous response to A Midsummer Night’s Dream, incorporating much of Shakespeare’s text into a fascinating carnival of music, theatre and dance. In addition to Shakespeare’s characters, Purcell also conjures up a wild array of gods and goddesses, nymphs and sprites, fairies and shepherds, dancing swans and figures of dream.
Joseph's role: Oberon
You can't fault the acting either, and Joseph Millson's gracefully sinister Oberon and Oliver Le Sueur's unusually sympathetic Demetrius are outstanding. The Guardian
Dates: Glyndebourne Festival June - August 2009
Radio Broadcast
The Fairy Queen was broadcast on BBC radio 3 at 6:30pm-10:15:pm on the 21st July 2009
